Stellar Violets was founded by Lucinda Giblett, a descendant of two pioneering Western Australian farming families.
[/mk_fancy_title][mk_padding_divider][vc_column_text]After study in Communications and some years of travel, Lucinda returned home to join her father, Harvey, farming organic apples. Before long, she recognised a deep disconnect between people and food provenance. People didn’t seem to know, or even care, how their food was produced, where it was from, and the impact their choices were having on the world.

[/mk_blockquote][vc_column_text]Inspired to reconnect people to a more grounded way of life, Lucinda founded Stellar Violets, an arts & cultural centre named after her grandmothers. Stellar Violets’ founding members are Chairperson Dr Felicity Haynes, Vice Chair Jon Doust, Treasurer Yvette Hooper, and Committee Members Alana Marshall, Dales Miles, Genevieve Oldham, Bianca Vallentine, Mark Eyers, and Jenefer Eyers. This mix of inter-generational mix local, inter-state and international members ensures Stellar Violets is locally-focused, outward looking and accessible to people all over the world.
