Our Sponsorship Program
Whether you are an individual, a small business, a large corporation or a philanthropic foundation, you can support our mission to teach this generation of young Australians that Food Source Matters, by sponsoring schools to undertake the Food Bowl Connection unit.
​
We will thank you prominently on our website and social media (if you wish to be named), and you will have made a contribution to the future of sustainable Australian agriculture and the education of our young students.
We can also provide you with a fact sheet about Food River Station, the Food Bowl Connection unit and the Liverpool Plains Broadacre Food Bowl, as well as quotes and material to use in your press release or other communications materials.

In kind support
​
Local Liverpool Plains businesses and farmers have been generous in supporting our Farming Community Sponsorship program. At present, together they support thirty schools each year with unlimited use of the Food Bowl Connection unit for free. This program has the added benefit of giving schools their own farmer to liaise with during the unit.
​
If you are a Liverpool Plains business or individual that would like to help the next generation, either through a financial donation or through hands-on experience, please contact us.
​
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our photographer friends Sally Alden of Sally Alden Photography and Manus McFadyen for the use of their work across our website and resources.

"We may be a small rural community but by sending transportable and meaningful 'thank you' gifts from the Majestic Liverpool Plains Food Bowl of NSW, we can connect more people to this precious place. Why?
​
Because at Food River Station we believe that connecting with a place is fundamental to caring from it."

I have really enjoyed learning about the Liverpool Plains as I didn’t know where it was or what was produced there prior to this unit. Now I know all of the different crops that are grown in the plains such as canola, sunflower, wheat, corn and sorghum. These are then used to make many of our foods that we eat daily.
