Eliza Cannon - Borrowed Ground Farm

A little bit about me. Eliza. 28. Borrowed Ground’s marketing and communications guru and farm minion.
.
If you asked me ten years ago if I thought I would be where I am now, I would have laughed in your face. I led a very different lifestyle back then and my priorities and joys in life certainly did not lie in a perfectly planted bed of lettuce or carrots. However, nearly 9 years ago, I met and fell in love with Alex Chiswell and together we have realised our passion for small-scale farming together and I’ve been addicted ever since.
.
Work wise... I graduated as a primary school teacher and am deeply passionate about educating people of all ages, from all walks of life, about food and its systems in our Australian context. One of my proudest achievements is working as Pocket City Farms Community Coordinator, where I was able to combine my education and networking background. It really was a dream.
.
While building Borrowed Ground and its impact I hope to draw upon my love and knowledge of diverse food systems, cultures, community building and market gardening. In the hope of integrating these things with education and food advocacy to achieve a business that is inspiring and inclusive to others and the natural world around me.
.
I tend to break out in song. I suck at construction (working on that). I adore interacting with people and my spirit vegetables are onions (all types) and the ever so versatile eggplant.
.
I hope to meet, see or cook for ya soon!

Love, Lize.
