Down’s Community Farm

Down’s Community Farm Down's Community Farm on Old Wells Rd, Seaford. Situated on traditional lands of the Bunurong people.

Adjacent to the beautiful wetlands, it's a former farm, now a thriving community project with nourishing activities and sustainable values. Down’s Community Farm (formerly known as and still run by Down’s Estate Community Project) is a flourishing community hub bordering the scenic wetlands on Old Wells Rd, Seaford. "Down's Estate" is the former farm, previously owned by world-renowned whip and sa

ddle-maker Harry Down. The land is now owned by Frankston City Council and jointly managed. The project is co-created by passionate, hardworking and dedicated community members. Together we work to sustain shared goals and values, working with sustainable farming practices, hosting culturally significant community events and share our knowledge and culture. The land facilitates a large community garden and wide-open grass space for nourishing activities such as yoga and community festivals, with incredible views overlooking the native wetlands. This community-based public space is inclusive and welcoming of all aspects of all people. If you want to get involved or share your ideas, please join us. You can like and follow our page, visit our website or Instagram, and visit us at Down’s Community Farm. Help us to keep this amazing project exciting and connected.
