We believe that there is nothing more inspiring that seeing what other people, just like you are doing locally. So, from big to small, families to community gardens, courtyards to commercial businesses, we are going to bring you a series of snapshots to celebrate the people and food of our region. We hope that they will not only give you some great advice on eating seasonally and locally, but will also provide inspiration on what’s possible within your own backyard.
We hope you enjoy these stories from Beyond the foodies’ fence...
In Autumn we took a sneak peak at a veggie garden out at Lal Lal (Hyperlink to Ithaca feature), so this time we thought we would take a look at the Ballarat Community Garden where over 80 people from the Ballarat area garden, chat, work, cook and generally have a pretty good time. Take a peek and get inspired!

There is one thing that makes de-icing the windscreen, splitting wood for the fire and breaking the ice on the chooks water worthwhile – and that is rhubarb! Topped with yoghurt for breakfast, or bubbling in a crumble for dinner, rhubarb it is the perfect antidote to the winter blues. And for those home gardeners that didn’t quite get their autumn planting done on time (hmmm who would that be?), it could well be one of the few things coming out of your garden at the moment.
So, for those unfortunates that haven’t got a lot coming out of your garden, and are having to buy your fresh produce, the pick of Victoria’s winter produce, according to Environment Victoria, is:
Apples, beetroot, broad beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, grapefruit, jerusalem artichokes, kiwi fruit, leeks, lemons, lettuce, limes, mandarins (imperial), onions, oranges (navel), parsley, parsnips, pears, potatoes, rhubarb, silverbeet, snow peas, spinach, spring onion, turnips
