growing good

Growing Good is Sprout Tasmania’s annual fundraising event, a night of impact and inspiration.

This event celebrates the exceptional people and bountiful produce that form the backbone of our sector, showcasing why our work is so essential.

But Growing Good is more than a fundraising event – it’s an opportunity to connect with Sprout and like-minded individuals who share our passion for making a difference. By attending, you have the chance to forge partnerships that can help us expand our reach and enhance our impact on the community.

join us at growing good 2026

Held from 6pm–10pm on Saturday 30 May 2026 at a special location at Procreate HQ located at 2 Collins St, Hobart (thanks to the generous support of Alanna and James Cuda), Growing Good brings together farmers, industry leaders and values-aligned people for an intimate evening of connection, conversation and support for Tasmania’s food future.

Guests will begin the evening with a welcome drink and canapés by the fire in the courtyard, under festoon lights and around fire pits, before moving inside for a shared long-table, three-course dinner celebrating the best of Tasmania’s autumn produce.

The menu will be led by Head Chef Vinny MacDonald, alongside Cam Perry of Hamlet, Scott Heffernan and a team of hospitality professionals.

Throughout the evening, guests will hear from keynote speaker Tanya Massy, farmer and author from Ngarigo Country in south-east NSW, and current Investment Partnerships Manager at Sustainable Table, who will share her stories of working across rural, remote and urban communities, from farms to outback arts festivals, regional food hubs and government offices, all with one core focus – rethreading connection. Tanya will be joined by members of the Sprout farming community who will share their stories behind the food being served and the support that Sprout offers.

The evening will also include a raffle and silent auction with an amazing list of prizes showcasing the best that Tassie has to offer in food and experiences, with funds raised directly supporting Sprout Tasmania’s work in advocacy, capacity building and leadership for small-scale, ethical and sustainable farming across the state.

Growing Good is a celebration of the people shaping a stronger, more resilient food system for Tasmania — and a meaningful opportunity to support the grassroots movements making that future possible.

As a not-for-profit cooperative, Sprout Tasmania works to support small-scale farmers through advocacy, capacity building and community connection, helping build a stronger and more sustainable food future for Tasmania.

Together, we are making a difference—one farm, one farmer, and one community at a time.
