Organic Farmshare at the Currumbin Eco Village Open Day

Organic Farmshare had a market stall at the highly successful Currumbin EcoVillage 2010 Open Day held on Sunday 12th September (more pics here). Organic Farmshare is a new public company whose prospectus is expected to be approved by ASIC and released shortly. It is an opportunity to own part of a farm just inside NSW, which is expected to be purchased late in 2010. At least 200 shareholders are needed at startup, and 700 is targetted for full realization of the farm. Expansion to more farms are envisaged as more shareholders buy in.

• Shareholders have access to its organically sound produce, which will be transported to the Gold Coast.
• A share is expected to cost $4,000. There is an option to pay by $400 deposit plus $158 per month over 2 years.
• Shareowners may stay on the farm in holiday accommodation for a few days each year.

3. attend a "Kitchen Table Talk" presentation - dates and locations are notified here. Email to reserve a spot, and obtain the address. (Edit 14/09/10: I attended one at Isle of Capri, and am pleased to note that this is an very interesting information and discussion evening, with no "hard sell" at all. These folk seem to hate "corporate hard sell" as much as I do.)
