Located within the surrounds of Brisbane's largest riverfront at Seventeen Mile Rocks, the Rocks Community Farm is a key project of the Sustainable Jamboree program. Supported by the Brisbane City Council, the garden is a voluntary group that is focused on the production and harvesting of crops using sustainable principles and organic techniques.

So, what are you waiting for...
