About This Project

Hi, I’m Nada, I've lived in the north of Melbourne for about 30 years.

My Dragonfly dream is coming true! A space for community connection and good food in Preston. Inspired by learning to care for ourselves and our environment, Dragonfly promotes a sustainable connected lifestyle. We recognise sustainability is important and essential. Through the cafe and deli we can celebrate delicious, high quality food and do so with regard to our impact. Dragonfly will share knowledge, and connect people while finding ways of doing things differently. I look forward to seeing you once Dragonfly is opened. Please support the vision and make a pledge for one of our sustainable rewards that suits you.

Dragonfly will be a community hub with a cafe and deli serving locally sourced foods from passionate Australian producers. The space will be simple, accompanied by a holistic approach to doing things sustainably, and even a little bit differently. There will also be a group space where we can focus on community wellbeing and connection through a range of classes and activities. We value connection, and this extends to our future customers, the Melbourne community, and the planet. We hope you will join us in valuing these connections by assisting us through this crowdfunding campaign to make Dragonfly a reality.
