Fire + Ferment Supports Rural Alive & Well
Each year, the agriCULTURED festival in Tasmania highlights the region's agricultural heritage through various events, one of which is Fire + Ferment, organized by FermenTasmania. This event is not only a celebration of fermentation and fire-cooked foods but also a significant fundraiser for Rural Alive & Well (RAW).
Fire + Ferment includes a live auction, expertly hosted by Janie Finlay. Janie's engaging style encourages active participation from attendees, resulting in competitive bidding. The auction has raised over $14,000 in the past three years, directly benefiting RAW's efforts to improve mental health and well-being in rural communities across Tasmania.
A crucial part of Fire + Ferment's success is the support from the Chef and team at Timbre. Their culinary expertise and dedication to the event provide a memorable experience for all attendees, enhancing the overall appeal of the auction and encouraging generous contributions.
The funds raised through this event enable RAW to continue offering essential services and support to those in need. The ongoing collaboration between FermenTasmania, the team at Timbre, and the event attendees demonstrates a strong commitment to the well-being of rural communities.
As Fire + Ferment continues to grow, it remains a vital part of the agriCULTURED festival, showcasing the positive impact that community support and collaboration can achieve.
