Everyone is invited to visit Gary Kendall’s property in the beautiful Towamba Valley on Sunday the 14th of September.
The Kendalls have a large orchard of apples, pears & some stone fruit
on a bend of the Towamba River and would like to meet with other interested people, show us his orchard and share information.
It is a BYO barbecue and the soft-fruit trees will be in bloom so it makes for a beautiful spring day.

Directions: 19 km along Towamba Rd from Princes Hwy. Entry to the property is just after a sharp right hand bend, look for the sign.

SCPA has a range of focus projects including broadening the food producer base and the seedsavers network, supporting our organic and biodynamic producer network and accreditation regime, the loom growers network which supports women in countries who are challenged by external circumstances and the promotion of permaculture principles. We also run the bi-monthly Farmers Market in Bega.
After a year of redevelopment of the SCPA focus into the above areas we are looking for suitably interested members of the public who have a contribution to make in the areas of food production and supply, supporting localised businesses and commercialisation of alternative agriculture oppportunities.
The SCPA Farmers Markets are every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month from 8:00am to 2:00pm.

Our pro-organic position on food production recognises the premium price organic food can attract.
A pro-organic position on food production also guarantees a premium perception on the quality of a region thus improving our tourism potential as a 'good and healthy' place to visit or to live.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) risks the current perception of Australia's food production industry and our region as 'clean and healthy'.
Why would we risk the high quality perception of our region when the bulk of scientific evidence clearly demonstrates that GMOs have serious health effects.
This could damage our primary and tourism industries if GMOs are released into the local food chain.
