Buy from the Bush Impact Report

Buy From The Bush: Harnessing the power of digital tools to create lasting change in rural Australia explores the experiences and needs of rural and remote small to medium businesses (SMBs). It documents the positive impact of Buy From The Bush (BFTB) on these businesses, which are predominantly female led, and the flow-on benefits to the local economy and community.

The report was created by Buy From The Bush in partnership with Meta. Since 2019, Buy from the Bush and Meta have been working together to showcase rural and regional small businesses across Australia giving them the tools, training and resources to grow and thrive.

We were joined by Bruce Billson, Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman (ASBFEO), at a recent round table with five BFTB small business owners and Mia Garlick, Director, Policy - Australia, NZ & Pacific Islands, Meta, to discuss findings in the report.

Thank you to Perennialle Plants PHYLLi Emmanate Creative Peggy & Twig Singing Magpie Produce for being a part of this round table and sharing your stories and insights with us for this report.
