A key will be available on the school garden gate to access the garden and all chicken food and watering materials will be readily available to use. 

Families will be able to take any eggs home over the holidays to enjoy. (Eggs can be found in the chicken house or in the first open compost bay). There are currently 6 chickens.

Thank you,

Jenny Farrelly

Montmorency Foodworks are currently reaching out to the local community to recruit new staff of both mature age, as well as younger workers.  We are hoping to receive expressions of interest from parents wishing to return to the work force after (or while) raising their children. We appreciate that availability varies with our busy lives, however, management at Foodworks are prepared to engage in discussions with interested candidates taking flexible working hours into consideration.

If you are interested, please contact either Adrian or Lorenzo on 9435 1750
