Not only is this lovely place set amongst amazing landscape and has Merri Creek and bike track leading off it, It has chickens.....I mean CHICKENS! Woo! It's a not for profit organisation (although that has currently lead them into an amazing amount of debt due to mismanagement which the Moreland council has had to help dig them out of, but we are only talking positives right now!) which boasts research facilities as well as educational programs and a super duper market. The wonderful research that goes on here and the heaps of land space to do it on has helped make Ceres a recognised international leader in community and environmental practice.
All waste and water is recycled and they are currently putting into action the plan to be completely carbon neutral by 2012! Go Ceres!
As well as all these too good to be true facilities, and wonderful work that goes on, they have an amazing nursery to top it off! How can one place be so great!
Ceres permaculture and bushfood nursery is the best place for the backyard gardener to visit to get their seedlings. With their vast knowledge on all things organic and earth friendly, if your a carer for this earth and what we are doing to it then this place is a much needed haven. And, it's just a wonderful place to go and feel relaxed.
