Welcome to The Producers!
Keen to grow some produce? Want to meet others and create a model for living a sustainable life? The Producers program is for you!
Here at The Producers, we're all about promoting sustainability on campus. We're a volunteer-based group dedicated to planting, maintaining and harvesting veggies (or "produce") around campus.
Urban farm
In exciting news from T3 and beyond the Producers are taking over UNSW's very own Urban Farm!
The Urban Farm is a community-run garden where the UNSW community work together to grow and harvest fresh fruit and veggies.
We hold weekly gardening sessions, workshops & learning sessions, open to both students and staff! Applications open now.

Upcoming Projects and Workshops
Urban Farm
An exciting new project for The Producers in T3 2022! Urban Farm aims to provide a fun and interactive space for the UNSW community to grow produce, and learn about sustainable gardening in urban areas.
DIY Biodegradable Pot
In Week 6, create a biodegradable pot with The Producers! Simply use our pot press, fill with soil and plant a seed. Once sprouted, your pot is ready to go straight into the ground!
DIY Seed Paper
In Week 8, create your own seed paper with The Producers! After you've finished writing on the paper and you no longer want it, bury into soil and water so seeds sprout.

Hey guys,
I'm Sophie - the new Producers coordinator for '22! I'm super passionate about all things environment and sustainability - particularly when it comes to growing fresh fruit and veg. I believe veggie patch gardening can be accessible to all - no matter your time, space or monetary constraints - and provides a fun way to relax and reset from the demands of uni life.
The Producers are always open to new volunteers - regardless of past experience or knowledge. So if you're looking to learn a bit more about sustainability, contribute to a greener campus, and grow your own food - Join The Producers today!
