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. There were whole heads of cabbage fermenting in barrels in the garage, neighbours converging to process chooks for dinner and days spent manually turning the spit threaded with pig or lamb sourced from some local farm. Seeds were saved, seedlings shared and produce preserved. It really was a good multicultural Australian upbringing with enough cake to feed a village. Even during my time in the corporate world, far from the apple orchards of my youth, I knew this was how I wanted to live and raise a family, build community and connections.

Keep an eye out for events happening for the occasion. Read on for:
