About Seeds of Ability – Growing Futures on the Farm
More Than an Event. A Movement for Inclusion.
Seeds of Ability – Growing Futures on the Farm is a unique two-day community event proudly presented by Swallowtail Community & Education Inc
Our vision is simple:
To create a community where people living with disability are recognised for their abilities, not their barriers.
As a registered Queensland incorporated association with charitable fundraising approval, every dollar raised through this event helps create opportunities that empower people living with disability to live more independent, meaningful and connected lives.
Why We Created Seeds of Ability
For many people living with disability, the barriers to employment, education, housing and social inclusion can feel overwhelming.
Too often people are judged by what they can't do instead of being given the opportunity to demonstrate what they can.
Seeds of Ability was created to change that.
Founded by Nathan Freney, who lives with disability himself, this event is built from lived experience and a passion to create genuine opportunities where everyone belongs.
This isn't simply another country market.
It is a community coming together to plant the seeds of opportunity, confidence, employment and hope.
