A school farm has been established where children are actively encouraged to take ownership of the ongoing functioning of this, growing many vegetables and fruits as well as tending to the free range chickens.
These products are then included in cookery classes so the children learn about the paddock to plate relationship.
Members are also very active with fundraising for various projects and causes by catering and selling goodies at local markets. Advocacy plays a large role with the members having a voice at the CWA of NSW state level on matters that effect our agriculture and wildlife.
We would love to have you drop along and meet us.

Volunteering
People often ask us, “Why do you volunteer? You don’t even get paid!”
To that we say – there’s more to giving than money. That question, while common, misses the bigger picture. It reflects a narrow view, because we don’t live in isolation. We are not islands.
We are part of something bigger – families, communities, workplaces, mother’s groups, neighborhoods, gyms, even just sharing the road with others. Whether we realise it or not, we constantly rely on one another to keep our lives safe, connected, and meaningful. We are never truly alone.
Volunteering with the CWA doesn’t bring a monetary reward – but what it offers is far richer. It gives you the gift of friendship. It teaches you new skills. It pushes you to achieve things you never imagined possible. You gain wisdom, purpose, and the joy of being part of a team working together to solve real problems and make a difference – no matter how big or small.
Yes, some people can give more than others. That’s the beauty of a community. Everyone contributes in their own way, at their own pace – and every effort matters. Every contribution is valued.
The CWA welcomes women of all cultures, ages and backgrounds, because at the heart of it, we all share the same fundamental needs – for connection, support and purpose.
So, if you are curious, we would love you to drop in for a cuppa. You will be very welcome.
