(f)route + Organics Association = (f)route CART soon

Organic Agriculture Association Inc (OAA) - Heather, Audrey and Stephen

One of the best bits about (f)route has been making connections with all the people in East Gippsland who are on the same page. fruit+art+sustainability+culture+heritage+community=makes us all feel better. (f)routey.

A little while ago (
f)route was funded by the Shire to support the making of a dozen COMMUNITY (f)route carts. (these are separate to our Arts Vic application for ART CARTs - still pending). a bit less arty, and a little more practical most likely. but ALL about connecting.

First cab off the rank - the Organic Agriculture Association Inc (OAA) in Bairnsdale.

This is SOOO exciting for us. the OAA were at our very first (f)route 'strategic planning day' - 2 years ago!! [who'dve thought it would take quite so long] Nonetheless.. we are well and truly on the way..

Their CART will be the centrepiece of their new community garden at the Steiner/Makerspace/OAA precinct. yay.

Stephen, Audrey and Heather are the passionate Organics people who drive a fabulous movement. and have done for ever. We hope this is project will be yet another connector of (f)route-like minds. http://www.organicagriculture.asn.au/

225 survey responses!

An amazing response to our (f)route CRUNCH survey - with 225 responses in 2 days.
And not just quantity!
The answers and extra comments were really helpful in the process of designing our Social Enterprise - it's all about great places, great walks/cycles, extreme relaxation, and fruit. (well good food anyway).
And - Glamping. (but more camping than glam). (but ENOUGH glam).
With a website that supports the growing (f)route community and lets travellers create a  (f)route (f)riendly itinerary.
With well mapped fruit & art . Oh and (f)routeville in March.
Sorted.

(f)route CRUNCH BRUNCH @ Nungurner

A grand day at Tallon Glass Nungurner watching Norm and Sam blow beautiful glass, a (f)route cake brunch, a walk with blue tongue lizard & tortoise spotting, crab watching by the jetty, over to Oneofftwo Studio to pick up our (f)route jewellery. (oh and we picked up our (f)route apple and pear from Norm too!) (pix to follow).

Special thanks to Eva for washing all the dishes before we got back to them.
