“The best things we grow are more than just food.”

In our latest blog, Sally shares her personal connection to spending time outdoors and the memories that grow to life in the garden. She recognised the opportunity that presented, and transformed a garden that holds special memories, into a place that supports connection with the people who once cared for it.

To find out how her personal story and perspective shaped the garden into a beautiful place full of meaningful connections, this one is for you.

Want to discover the joy of growing your own garden? Visit the ‘love what you grow’ resource, part of our ‘love what you eat’ campaign for National Nutrition Week.

Mental Health Month is an opportunity to think about the many ways we can support our wellbeing and stay connected with the people and communities around us.

Food can be part of those moments of connection, whether it’s sharing a meal, spending time in a community garden, cooking a dish that connects you with your culture, or learning new skills alongside others.

This month, we’re celebrating the ways food can bring people together and create opportunities for connection, enjoyment and belonging.

Happy World Coffee Day from NNF! ☕️

Today we are celebrating all things coffee, culture and connection. 💚

We are celebrating today to honour the beverage that a lot of the world love and enjoy daily. But we sometimes forget that coffee is more than just a drink, it is a way for us to connect and bring people together. Whether you are getting a coffee with a colleague or catching up with friends and family over a warm (or iced) beverage, we have a lot to thank coffee culture for.

Thank you to the coffee farmers, baristas and all who help make coffees around the world happen daily. 🩷

⏰ Every child deserves time to eat

School mealtimes are about more than food.

They're opportunities for children to refuel, learn, socialise and build lifelong food literacy skills.

Australian research found many primary school students have only around 10 minutes to eat lunch, yet children are more likely to finish their food when they are given more time.

Let's create school environments where children have enough time to eat, enjoy a variety of foods and return to learning ready to thrive.

Because food literacy isn't just about what's in the lunchbox. It's also about having time to eat it.
