CERES Festival of Fava

Join us at our Festival of Fava - a community celebration of the broad bean (fava) and the spring harvest at CERES Joe’s Market Garden in Coburg as we mark 80 years since Joe Garita and his family first planted beans on the farm.

Together we will celebrate the importance of the fava bean reflected in annual traditions, stories and recipes across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. These celebrations will also include the market garden’s annual broad bean harvest where you can pick your own beans alongside farm tours exploring the rich history of the market garden which has been farmed continuously for over 170 years.

A day of celebration including music, cooking demonstrations, farm tours, pick-your-own beans, garden workshops and activities for adults and kids alike.

Tickets are free but limited.

Additional option - book a paid session to pick your own broad beans at Melbourne's oldest continuing market garden. Your paid ticket includes an introduction from our Farmer, growing and harvesting tips and a delicious 500g bag of the freshest broad beans you'll find.
