A partnership

As you are aware, the operations of Sourdough Pathways were temporarily halted following the sudden loss of Federal Grant funding in May 2023.

Since ceasing operations in September 2023, we have been diligently working to explore alternative arrangements.

However, we are thrilled to share the exciting news of our collaboration with Business NSW Northern Rivers and Byron Community College to deliver a Sourdough Project – funded by the Accelerating Regional Innovation Fund Grant – Regeneration Connection Program.

The Program will include exciting townhall events, start-up and scale-up collaborations and mentoring, with a focus on Agrifood, Agtech and Food Waste. This partnership opens new doors for growth and opportunity in the coming year, and we are excited about the collaboration.

In the meantime, we are hosting workshops and short courses for anyone who is starting out in business or running a small business, via the Byron Community College.  Visit the website for more details.
