After losing his home in a devastating bushfire, Josh channelled his grief into action by transforming a piece of land he owned into a community garden. Motivated by the lack of fresh food following the disaster, he aimed to support his local food swap group and promote self-sufficiency. His passion was sparked when he salvaged a single zucchini from the ruins, a symbol of what the community was missing.

Josh’s energy and determination quickly inspired others. Community members describe him as a driving force, full of ideas, unstoppable enthusiasm, and a deep commitment to local food systems. His efforts became central to the development of Acres and Acres, which focuses on growing and distributing fresh produce locally.

The initiative not only addressed food scarcity but also fostered community resilience and connection. As one speaker puts it, small towns are like looms, when people work together in rhythm, they can create something beautiful. For Josh and his community, food became more than nutrition, it became a source of healing, happiness, and hope.
