kinfolk cafeKinfolk is a social enterprise, we re-direct 100% of our profits between 4 development projects in Australia and abroad and up to 30 volunteers assist in the café each week.

Kinfolk Café cuisine is all about simplicity and seasonal produce. We aim to create meals that are wholesome, nourishing and reflective of our overall ethos, that being conscious consumption. We buy locally (often directly from the farmer), use organic, biodynamic and fair-trade products where possible and so are able to create fresh and lovingly-crafted recipes. Discover what’s on the menu at Kinfolk here.

CrowdSpot_CMYK

CrowdSpot’s mission is to help create quality public spaces in a social, inclusive and engaging process. We do this by connecting decision makers with targeted community groups through the use of our online engagement tool.
We create customised online maps that enable people to easily contribute input on geographic locations.  People can either add spots to a location with a description and image or alternatively vote, share or comment on existing spots. By working together to capture our collective knowledge we can make decisions that reflect the priorities and views of the community.
CrowdSpot have provided generously put together a map especially for the EcoCity Food Forum to map community gardens, farms and farmer markets around Melbourne. Find out more about CrowdSpot here and connect with them on Twitter at @crowd_spot
