The Build that Grew

Next date: Wednesday, 10 June 2026 | 04:00 PM to 06:00 PM

Six months ago, something remarkable happened in Colac!

Over 700 community members, volunteers, partners and supporters gathered to Build a Farm in a Day, Colac and in 24 hours we did exactly that. Farm My School Colac was built, and it is now a thriving space growing fresh produce, educating students, and engaging community members.

We would like to invite you to join us at The Build That Grew in celebrating this milestone and seeing firsthand what has grown since that day.

This is a free community event, and everyone is welcome.

Join us for:

• Twilight farm tours
• Seasonal produce stall and tasting
• Cooking competition
• Tree planting
• Reflective conversations
• Special talks
• Live music
• Giveaways
• And more...

WHAT YOU YOU NEED

Wear comfortable shoes, and warm clothing for walking around the farm and being outside. Bring your own water bottles.

WHO ARE WE

Farm My School is a not-for-profit organisation which collaborates with schools to transform their underutilised grounds into regenerative farms that nourish, educate and connect communities. We are driven to promote healthy eating, ecological stewardship and connect communities.

WHAT ELSE DO WE DO

Regeneratively grown, seasonal produce are available to purchase as veggie boxes from Farm My School, either as weekly or subscription orders. We also offer educational sessions, incubator traineeships, cooking and gardening workshops and corporate experiences. This is more than a farm – this is a food hub built for community, connection, education and sustainability!
