Nestled across the picturesque landscapes of Melbourne, Australia, CERES stands as a beacon of environmental consciousness, education, and sustainable living. Spanning multiple locations along the Merri and Darebin Creeks, CERES is more than just an environmental education centre; it’s a haven that fosters a deep connection between people and the Earth.
“Our vision is for people to fall in love with Earth again,” shares Jess Holland, Microgreens Manager at CERES, encapsulating the essence of their mission. At the heart of their efforts is the cultivation of a regenerative food system, exemplified by endeavors like Honey Lane Farm, Joe’s Market Garden, and a vibrant community garden.
An epitome of innovation is CERES’ Microgreens vertical urban farm. Holland elaborates: “Microgreens not only provide fresh, locally grown greens to our community, but they also grow sustainably as they use little water and space”.
This commitment extends to their recent switch to TIPA’s compostable packaging to pack their microgreens, a monumental step towards reducing their environmental footprint. Holland expresses her enthusiasm: “By embracing TIPA’s compostable packaging, thousands of plastic packaging units will be prevented from entering landfills.” It is a shift in philosophy that aligns seamlessly with CERES’ ethos and resonates with their customers, who have wholeheartedly embraced the transition and are thrilled that the packaging is home-compostable.
CERES’ story is a testament to the transformative power of conscious choices. As they continue to inspire individuals to rekindle their connection with the Earth, their partnership with TIPA’s compostable packaging stands as a shining example of their unwavering commitment to a greener, more sustainable future.
