The dramatic red colour of the rosella fruit was the drawcard to the annual Big Rosella Field Day at Petersen's Farm at Reilly Rd, Woolooga held on the first weekend in May.
The popular event is hosted by CC and Greg Petersen – the farmer and the cook – assisted by volunteers in bright lime green shirts with the rosella logo. Rosellas have been ‘naturalised’ in Australia, and it’s thought they were introduced by Indonesian fishermen thousands of years ago.
The farm tour, led by Greg helped the attentive audience understand how rosella bushes grow, that the yellow flower only lasts one day, and how the red fruit is carefully hand-picked during the 6-month season. Greg explained how his Nana made rosella jam, and that he had a small veggie patch from when he was 4yo, and “wanted to be a farmer when he grew up.” To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_141/27 ...

With rising food and fuel costs, keeping your purchase of food to the local area can reduce food miles and bring an enormous amount of satisfaction, not to mention improved taste and flavours. If you grow some of your own food at home but find that a punnet of young seedlings all mature at the same time and you have excess, there are some initiatives that can maximise your efforts and enhance your dinner table.
Eumundi Harvest Swap recently marked its 6th anniversary. The swap is held on the last Thursday of every month at the Eumundi Community Garden , 38 Memorial Dr and is all about sharing excess homegrown produce. Participants set up from about 10am and barter, starting at 10.15am.
Alongside fruit, vegetables and herbs, people also trade potted plants, seedlings, seeds, jams, cookbooks, recipes, garden tools, and also share gardening advice. While waiting for one of the organisers to officially begin the swap, members enjoy plenty of lively conversation. Once the swap starts, the standing rule is simple: no pushing or shoving and everyone helps themselves to what they would like from the tables. Afterwards, many stay on for morning tea and more conversation. All are welcome. Visit: FB Eumundi Harvest Swap - www.facebook.com/groups/221123098954904
Cooroy launched its own Harvest Swap on 19 April and meets every Sunday from 10am-12noon at the Bendigo Bank Community Pavilion at 26 Emerald St. They welcome anything that has been made, baked or sewn, with a focus on homegrown food and garden produce. Barter is the main aim, but small cash exchanges are possible. Newcomers are welcome, even if you only have a few items to share. Visit: Permaculture Noosa & Cooroy Community Gardens
Noosa Libraries offer a free Seed Library that provides seeds to library members to borrow, plant, grow, harvest and return. While enjoying produce from the plants, members are encouraged to complete the cycle by harvesting seeds from their plants to return to the library for others to borrow. They offer a mix of flowers, herbs and vegetable and legume seeds. Visit: libraries.noosa.qld.gov.au. ... See MoreSee Less
