Where Food and Growth Begin
At Bergalia Hill, we believe that confidence, wellbeing, and connection grow from the ground up. Our Bergalia Hill programs combine hands-on community gardening at our peaceful South Coast farm with the joy of shared meals, creating a holistic experience that nurtures both body and spirit. Whether you're harvesting vegetables or gathering around a table with others, every activity is designed to build life skills in a calm and welcoming environment, supported by our NDIS support services.
Growing Food, Friendships, and Opportunity
Led by Jay—a qualified chef with over 20 years of experience and a background in disability support—our Bergalia Hill programs are rooted in collaboration and purpose. Participants engage in community gardening within our market garden to cultivate seasonal produce, learning practical skills from soil to harvest. The food we grow contributes to nutritious, simple meals we share during farm visits. Participants also take produce home to share with their families and sell excess harvest locally, reinforcing a genuine sense of value and contribution, while benefiting from NDIS support services.
A Place to Cultivate and Connect
Bergalia Hill is more than just a garden—it's a safe, supportive space to unwind and reconnect with nature. With our engaging Bergalia Hill programs, participants can feed the ducks and geese, chat with the cows, collect fresh eggs, or simply enjoy a quiet moment in the garden, all while experiencing the therapeutic benefits of rural life. Tailored for NDIS participants and others seeking meaningful, capacity-building experiences, our community gardening initiatives foster personal growth, purpose, and connection. At Bergalia Hill, let’s grow together!
Real Skills, Right Where You Are
We offer personalised cooking programs, both in-home and through our engaging Bergalia Hill programs on the farm. Whether you're in your own kitchen or enjoying the fresh air at Bergalia Hill, you'll build everyday skills like meal planning, budgeting, and safe food prep. Our simple, adaptable approach not only supports NDIS support services but also makes cooking empowering, fostering confidence, independence, and enjoyment in community gardening.
