Bush Goddess Foods

Organically Nourishing Souls & Soil

Bush Goddess Foods are sourced from growers and farms which are Certified Organic, In-Conversion (to Certified Organic) or operate under a self-accredited certification of Organic principles and practices. 

Healthy soils are the underlying resource for nutritious foods and species-rich landscapes and suppliers for Bush Goddess Foods are selected upon the holistic systems in which they grow quality food in conjunction with ongoing enhancement of their environment.

It is important to know where and how the foods you eat are grown so there is complete assurance they have been raised in a holistic and respectful manner by people who are passionate and proud about how they achieve this.  Suppliers to Bush Goddess Foods prioritise the quality, not the quantity, of their products and we all share the same business philosophy of 'small is beautiful'.

Our abiding priority is to provide high-quality and nutritious foods through environmentally enhancing systems which encourage biodiversity and acknowledges the abundance of Nature. 

For too long, farming methods have been simplifying Nature and complicating the business structures around the growing of food commodities.

It is time to reverse these practices and......simplify the business side by having the shortest possible supply chains and building resilience and abundance into our ecosystems by encouraging diversity and complexity......as Nature originally designed it.

Catering

The Bush Goddess LOVES to source, prepare and share the fabulous foods from their network of passionate producers and cater for all types of events. Keep in mind we can easily provide a complete gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan menu for you....

Some of the excuses for creating an occasion for which we can cater include:

• Children's birthday parties - delicious, nutritious and fun-foods without synthetic colourings, highly refined sugar and gut-rotting preservatives. We can create or co-ordinate our menus with any themes.
• Adult's birthday parties - full sit-down dinners, platters, buffets, spit-roasts or cocktail parties - celebrate those birthdays with style and distinction!
• Working lunches:  We can bring in platters of nutritious finger-foods, tureens of soup, sourdough breads, fruit platters and health-giving teas and coffees;
• Smokos:  keep the brain-juices lively and creative with fantastic and flavoursome home-made savoury and/or sweet muffins (including gluten-free), biscuits, cakes (think of orange-and-poppyseed-with-orange-mint-syrup.);
• Family re-unions: what a great idea!  We can organise the complete event for you so you can focus on socialising with your family and we will provide the nourishment;
• Club breakfasts: Turn an early morning training session into a memorable event with a wholesome Bush Goddess breakfast.  With our portable cooking equipment, we can whip up a feast almost anywhere and we love a challenge!

Mulloon Creek Natural Farms

Mulloon Creek Natural Farms is a grazing, cropping and carbon building enterprise covering two farms in close proximity to each other on the Mulloon Creek, east of Canberra. Both properties are organic using the biodynamic system of agriculture and MCNF is a member of the Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA).

Our purpose is to be a diverse, sustainable working role model of excellence for profitable biodynamic production and landscape restoration together with outstanding research and education programmes.

Mulloon Creek Natural Farms has become a centre of learning . Courses in the theory and practice of biodynamic farming are held in liaison with the Biodynamic Education Centre run by Lynette West, a key person in our advisory team.

We already have an education and research programme established with the Australian National University 20 years ago for forestry students who are carrying out experiments and studying developments of the native bush, and we are currently discussing with ANU expanding this to other disciplines.

Our self-funding "events" programme also includes entertainment using an old barn on The Home Farm.  

A key element in our work is the rehydration of our landscape using the principles of Natural Sequence Farming developed and practiced by Peter Andrews.  We have the first National Landcare coordinated demonstration of this work on our creek. It is a model of a cooperative effort between Landcare, the Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority and us as the landowners.

Our intention is to hold courses on anything and everything that is of interest to you! Some ideas in the pipeline are Beekeeping, Permaculture, Holistic Farming Methods, Health & Wellbeing workshops, Art & Music classes. Email us with your area of interest and we'll see if we can make it happen for you.
