Fair Food Champion: Lili Zlojutro

I am a mother of four and child of the most amazing migrant folk, rest their souls. I was born and bred in the Gong, and spent my childhood in a backyard full of creatures and edible gardens, playing cricket while snacking on passionfruit and grapes, our beloved dog Mali, always wicket keeper.

Seeds were saved, seedlings shared and produce preserved. It really was a good multicultural Australian upbringing with enough cake to feed a village.
