Calling all foodies, gardeners, educators, jack-of-all-trades, organisers and fun lovers! Want to source more local, fresh and organic food in Apollo Bay?

Come along and be part of the solution in an evening of inspiring information including a screening of “The Power of Community”.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba’s economy went into a tailspin. With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 80 percent – people were desperate. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people during this difficult time. Cubans share how they transitioned from a highly mechanized, industrial agricultural system to one using organic methods of farming and local, urban gardens.
