 Visit Oyster Cove Bruce and Karen 2026

A gloriously warm early summer's day saw the Food Garden Group visit Bruce and Karen's garden in Oyster Cove. Bruce and Karen took on this five acre property around five years ago. In that time they transformed it from a weed infested and overgrown block into a delightful hobby farm.

 We like to grow what we eat 

________________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the 2026-2027 Food Garden Group season! The first FGG newsletter of the season usually comes out on the first of August, but BioSecurity Tasmania has published proposed new primary produce regulations and asked Tasmanians to respond to them before 5pm on 30 July, so this newsletter is early to alert you to this fact and invite you to provide feedback to BioSecurity Tasmania before the deadline.

The Impact of Proposed new Primary Produce Regulations

Most food gardeners would in the past have taken their surplus produce to food swaps, community houses or trade tables at Food Garden Group garden visits. If proposed BioSecurity Tasmania regulations get the green light you will be in breach of primary produce regulations if you take leafy vegetables or berries or melons without first providing BioSecurity Tasmania with detailed paperwork. You can read more about this below. Please respond to BioSecurity Tasmania's request for feedback before 30 July!
