‘Cultivating Community’ operates as an organics urban vertical farm, social food market, diary cattle farm and affordable housing apartments. Residents of the revitalised Shell house are provided the opportunity to live in this below cost-average apartment in exchange for casual working operations within the urban farm, cafe and market. Not only does this living model vastly ease the cost of living within the CBD but provides a haven for social interaction and chance to engage with animals and the rewards of farming.
Working residents are provided with great opportunities such as free daily coffee, free daily meals and access to the fresh food market at a discounted rate.
