The Great Awakening for Aboriginal Communities

🌿 Unity in Respectful Connection 🤝

In the spirit of cultural harmony, we extend our heartfelt acknowledgment to the Elders, past, present, and emerging, in every community that enriches the tapestry of this ancient land.

As a business, our vision transcends mere existence; we aspire to weave developments that resonate with the heartbeat of Indigenous communities across this sacred First Peoples' Nation.

In the vibrant landscapes of Brisbane and the Queensland Regions, we pay homage to the Mobs that have shaped the legacy of these lands. Moreover, our reach extends to embrace the diverse communities scattered across this vast nation.

🌏 Harmonizing Together for Customary Purpose 🌟

Let's stand together, hand in hand, for a purpose steeped in tradition and respect. Through cultural understanding, we aspire to co-create developments that honor the heritage of this land and foster unity among all its custodians.

In unity, we thrive, and in diversity, we find strength. Together, we embark on a journey for a Customary Purpose, embracing the richness of traditions and forging a path that resonates with the wisdom of the Elders and the aspirations of generations yet to come.

🌿 Jawan Organic Farm: Nurturing Trust, Respecting Traditions 🤝

In our journey, we hold the sacred understanding that trust and respect are the foundations of meaningful partnerships, particularly when working alongside Australian Aboriginal communities. We emphasise the active involvement of local communities, recognising their wisdom as the guiding force.

🌏 Embracing Nature-Based Solutions for Indigenous Empowerment 🌿

In response to the surging global demand for authentic, integrity-driven nature-based solutions, we align our strategies with the ever-evolving needs of Indigenous businesses, the changing climate, and corporate social responsibility goals.

Our farming strategy is more than just cultivation; it's a pathway toward cultivating healthier lifestyles, fostering employment, and unlocking economic opportunities. With a focus on family connections, self-respect, and tailored opportunities, we stand as allies with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through our innovative farming practices.

🌱 Empowering Pathways to Success 🌟

We are committed to providing unwavering support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals, guiding them on their unique journey to success through aquaponic farming practices.

Jawan Organic Farm - Unifying Communities Across Australia 🌐

Our vision extends beyond cultivation; it encompasses the creation of Community Social Enterprise Developments in Aboriginal Communities across Australia, one community at a time. As we care for the country, we acknowledge the traditional custodians and community members who have nurtured and safeguarded the land for generations.

Respecting the custodianship of the land, we seek permission and ensure that our developments honor the enduring cultural relationship of Aboriginal communities with their land.

🌿 Holistic Integration of Indigenous Wisdom 🌿

Introducing our farming systems into Aboriginal Communities across NSW and QLD, we aim to foster self-ownership or community group ownership. Working collaboratively, we assist in establishing 100% Organic Farming enterprises, whether for commercial purposes or home systems.

🥦 Cultivating Health: Mind, Body, and Spirit 🌿

Our commitment to family health extends beyond conventional care. It's about nourishing families from the grassroots, providing pure, whole foods abundantly. Recognizing the profound connection between nutrition and mental well-being, we offer a year-round supply of 100% Organic grown foods, including fish, vegetables, bush tucker, and fruits.

🧠 Optimal Brain Health Through Whole Nutrition 🍎

Addressing the crucial discourse on mental health, we emphasize the physical health of the brain. Pure, whole foods like fish and vegetables play a vital role in optimal brain health, steering clear of pro-inflammatory foods that may hinder mental well-being. Our farms provide a constant source of availability, fostering strong mental health through employment, financial stability, and a sense of purpose.

🌿 Nurturing Cultural Heritage: Bush Foods in Aquaponic Systems 🌱

Bush foods, deeply rooted in the heritage of Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders, find a new home in Aquaponic systems like Jawan Organic Farm. These edible plants, integral to living cultures, symbolize a connection to the land that spans thousands of years.

As we cultivate, we honor traditions, empower communities, and walk hand in hand towards a future where cultural integrity and sustainable practices thrive.

WARRIGAL GREENS SPINACH  (Tetragonia tetragonoides)

Aboriginal name(s)  Warrigal (Dharug language, meaning “wild”)

You can use Warrigal Greens the way you’d use spinach, chard, silverbeet and bok choy. Like with spinach, the leaves are rich in oxalates, so should be blanched or cooked before eating. Warrigal Greens are Australia’s answer to English spinach.

Lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora)

Lemon myrtle, also know as Sweet Verbena, has traditionally been used by indigenous Australians for cooking and medicinal purposes. The oil has extremely high citral purity and is considered to be higher than lemongrass. It makes an excellent alternative for lemon flavouring in any dish, especially where you want to avoid the acidity of real lemon juice. Growing in an aquaponic system, they can easily be pruned to size, including Bachhousia anisata (aniseed scented).

Native mint (Mentha australis)

Native River Mint - Mentha australis - Tucker Bush
Native River Mint (aka. Wild Mint) is a smaller, more delicate relative of more well-known mints like peppermint and spearmint. It has long been used in Aboriginal culture as a flavoursome bushfood, insect repellant and medicinal herb. Grows very well in Aquaponics, Native River Mint loves moisture and shade. In the wild, you’ll find it growing in most regions of the country. The River Mint is the perfect Aussie replacement or substitute for other types of mint, or a fantastic addition to a native herb garden.
