Episode 17: Nick Steiner, CEO and Founder - The Mini Farm Project

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Nick Steiner, the visionary Founder and CEO of the Mini Farm Project. Nick shares the inspiring story behind the creation of the Mini Farm Project and its mission to combat food insecurity by building a network of charity farms across Queensland and Australia.

We dive deep into the operations of the Samford Farm Precinct, the flagship farm nestled in Brisbane's north-west, which serves as a food resilience hub and community centre. Nick shares how the Samford Farm Precinct showcases innovative food production techniques and hosts the weekly Farm Gate event every Saturday, offering fresh, spray-free produce to the local community. Nick discusses the importance of sustainable agriculture, community engagement, and collaboration with partners like Meals on Wheels. He highlights the role of the Farm Gate in not only providing affordable produce but also supporting the Mini Farm Project’s broader mission to feed Aussies in need, educate young people, and build community through social programs.

Nick provides valuable insights into how listeners can get involved and support their efforts to create a more food-secure Australia. Join us for this enlightening conversation and learn how the Mini Farm Project is sowing the seeds of change, one farm at a time.
