Social Groups

Supporting our community to connect is a key part of our vision of Perth people living connected, sustainable lives. Behaviour change science tells us that feeling connected to a like-minded community (‘finding one’s tribe’) is important for us in achieving our target impact.

We offer a number of free or low cost opportunities to meet like-minded people at the Farm, and many of them are run by our wonderful volunteers. A list of the current programs is below but details change from time to time so please check the event listings before joining.

If you’d like to host a social group yourself please reach out.
