Native Foodways is growing fast and we need passionate and reliable people to join us to change the native food system. Together, we're making sure First Nations people participate in, benefit from, and lead the native food system.
Native Foodways runs native plant nurseries, native food farms, native food bakeries, and native food pop-ups, stalls, and shops.
In December 2023, we're launching the first Native Foodways Retail Shop on Gadigal Country in Sydney's CBD. Alongside this, we'll continue to have a stall at the Carriageworks Farmers Markets every Saturday in Redfern.

- Volunteers that can support us with logistics and marketing.
- Our First Nations Kitchen and Retail Teams will need all the support they can get from passionate people who want to support them to lead the change in the native food system. Volunteering for a First Nations-led organisation is an important form of reparations. It's a way to play a meaningful role in centring First Nations people and ways of knowing, doing, and being. It's a way to support genuine self-determination. We are an impact-first social enterprise. All our revenue is currently reinvested into the growth of the enterprise and we make no profits. It's all about creating more culturally meaningful jobs for First Nations people, generating more income for First Nations people, and supporting First Nations people to practice Culture, heal Country, and nourish Community while transforming the native food system and making our whole food system more regenerative.
- If you are interested, please email us at hey@nativefoodways.com.au. In your email your, please provide as much information as you feel comfortable with, including who you are, why you're interested in volunteering with us, what your experience is working with First Nations people, what work experience you have, what skills you'd like to utilise and/or learn during your volunteering, and what time commitments you can make over at least a three month period. We'll then get in touch about the roles that are available and if you'd be a good fit. If you just want to have a chat first, feel free to give us a call any time and we can talk it through - 0402 313 169.
- Make up a role
- Sometimes it doesn't seem like there is a role available that suits you. That's okay. We're open to talking to people who want to be a part of this special movement and who believe there is a way they can contribute in a meaningful way. If you see an opportunity to work with us and support our purpose, get in touch with as much information as possible about how you think you can contribute. Background about who you are, what your experience is, and why you're interested in working with us would be a great start.
