The Green House began its life in Kuranda in 1992 as an initiative of the Cairns and Far North Environment Centre (CAFNEC) - the North's peak conservation group. We have been in our present location since 2004. The Green House continues to stay true to its green roots by supporting local conservation groups and social justice causes. We share a portion of profits each year & distribute funds from customer donations to local green initiatives.
