More than just your average café, the soon to open Four Brave Women is run by refugee women. Every couple of weeks, a different team will take over the kitchen to prepare and cook food from their culture. The café is an initiative of the Trading Circle, a non-profit organisation that aims to empower women in developing countries to lift themselves out of poverty. The goal is to be able to provide opportunities for refugees to improve their skills and to learn more about running their own business. At the same time, it’s also an opportunity for the locals to get to know the refugees and to learn more about their culture.

A huge thank you to everyone that took the opportunity to meet some of your new neighbours and existing residents from Bakers Quarters, Millers Retreat and the Wheat Silos at the Harvest Park festival.

The festival offered some great live music, a pop-up picnic and great drinks topped off with fresh gelato cones.

The weather was perfect for the festivities and we expect this to be the first of many community events that will be hosted in the park.

On 12 September, Summer Hill residents old and new gathered in Harvest Park for a welcome picnic.

A perfect sunny day with fresh food, summer cocktails and light jazz in the background. What better way to celebrate the growing community at the Flour Mill.

The last remaining apartments for sale can be viewed here.

Come and join us for a picnic in Harvest Park!

The newest residents for Stage Two will be moving in over the next few weeks and to celebrate we would like to host a big neighbourhood get together.

There will be picnic blankets, fresh lemonade and some light jazz to serenade your afternoon.

When: Sunday 12 November 2017
Time: 2:00pm – 5:00pm
Where: The Flour Mill of Summer Hill. 2 Smith St, Summer Hill NSW

Now that Stage One are moving in, it’s time for a little bit of a flashback.

The name might be staying the same, but change is afoot at Summer Hill’s old flour mill in Sydney’s inner west. In the 1920s, it was a hub of industry. In the 1950s, the towering silos became part of the skyline. By the time the space marks its centenary, it will have well and truly transformed into a residential and retail hub with its own foodie precinct.

Currently under construction, Flour Mill of Summer Hill will boast a village-like community space around a paved outdoor plaza filled with a curated mix of eating, dining and shopping options. Full details have yet to be revealed, but the project has just announced its first addition: natural food retailer The Farm Wholefoods, who’ll be bringing their ethically sourced and ecologically sustainable food fare to a new organic cafe.

Plus, with 14 buildings making up the development — which has been designed to repurpose as much of the existing industrial site as possible — they’ll have plenty of company. As well as other restaurants, cafes and stores, the revamped space will feature 360 apartments (including some built into the wheat silos) and park areas, plus close proximity to Summer Hill’s existing shops.
