Abstract
Home food growing and preserving in Adelaide in the initial fifty years of the post-war period was a significant but hidden element of everyday life for many suburban households. This research acknowledges the overall decline that occurred in home production due to broader social changes but identifies a vibrant and dedicated continuation of such production at a previously untapped micro level. The continued demand for information ranging from broad, media driven sources to the intergenerational exchange of gardening and preserving knowledge enabled this passion to continue across subsequent generations, a finding substantiated in the backyards of many research participants.
