Foundations
Australia's fresh food crisis is coming.
We're building the farms now.
The Mini Farm Project builds productive charity farms that grow fresh food for Australian families experiencing food insecurity. Woodstock Farm — our flagship — will produce 150,000 meals a year and train 40 young people annually. We are looking for foundations ready to fund the infrastructure before the crisis peaks.
A growing emergency — and it's accelerating
Australia's food relief system was not built for what is coming. The convergence of the 2026 fuel crisis, rising household costs and farmers pulling back from planting is creating conditions that demand proactive infrastructure — now.
Woodstock Farm — Logan, Queensland
Our flagship 10-acre Youth Training Charity Farm at Woodstock is designed to prove what a fully systemised, high-impact charity farm can achieve — and replicate it from Coolangatta to Cairns. The model has already been proven across Samford, Loganlea State High School, Pumicestone and multiple urban sites.
Meals per year
Minimum 150,000 nutritious meals annually from market gardens and a 2-acre syntropic food forest. All donated free to OzHarvest, Meals on Wheels and local food relief partners weekly.
Youth trained per year
Accredited Certificate II Horticulture training for up to 40 disengaged young people per year. Real skills, real employment pathways, real futures — not a classroom exercise.
Community workshops
Eco-tours, volunteer programs, NDIS participant engagement, school programs and corporate volunteering days. Woodstock is a living community hub, not just a farm.
Local jobs created
Full-time farm manager, full-time farmer, casual farm hands and training staff. Meaningful employment in one of South East Queensland's highest food stress communities.
Regenerative & organic
Carbon-negative farming. Zero chemical inputs. Active soil health restoration, biodiversity improvement and climate-resilient practices in partnership with Griffith University research.
Self-funding target
Projected $680K–$825K annual revenue by FY28 via Sponsor a Bed, coffee sales, eco-tours, training income and corporate partnerships — working toward full operational self-sufficiency.

Who's already committed
Radical transparency — no other charity offers this
Daily Farm Reporting
Every farm submits a daily operational report — staff hours, weather, planting, harvest volumes, food distributed. Partners have full visibility into what their investment is producing.
Donor Vote on Farm Locations
Our community votes on where the next farm is built. Your foundation can participate in strategic direction — not just write a cheque and wait for an annual report.
Live Operations Meetings
Supporters join our live-streamed operations meetings. No other Australian charity offers this level of access. You see decisions made in real time. Nothing is hidden.
