Common Ground – 19th May 2025
A very crisp Monday morning turned into a sunny, blue sky day for our Kme on Wadawurrung Country at Common Ground regenerative farm in Freshwater Creek. Community and educaKon manager Lachy Mackenzie introduced us to the farm and described the aims of the farm and its community and educaKon programs. This was followed by a Warm Data exploration gently facilitated by Dr Jayne-Louise Collins. We engaged in a “kaleidoscope of conversation”, focused on the question: What is food in an ever-changing world? Stories and insights emerged as warm data from the farm context to nourish the mind and soul. We then nourished our bodies with a shared meal, some items homemade and homegrown.
Finally, we toured the farm with Lachy, engaging with our more-than-human kin –soil, plants, birds, bugs, frogs, chickens, and goats. A nourishing day in every way.
