✨ Heritage Sponsor Spotlight – Backyard Co. ✨
VAAUS is delighted to introduce Backyard Co. as a Heritage Sponsor of our upcoming event, Flavours of Home: An Arvo with Kishwar.
A heartfelt thank you to our proud Viqi Sadia Hasan and her husband Shahriar Ferdous, founders of Backyard Co., for their generous support of this special event.
Backyard Co. is a community-focused café and grocery store in the heart of Footscray, Victoria. Built on the values of being Ethical, Local, and Kind, we source from local producers, support sustainable practices, and serve as a welcoming space for the diverse Footscray community. From specialty coffee and fresh breakfast and lunch, to a curated grocery offering open daily until 10PM, Backyard Co. is more than a café — it’s a neighbourhood institution. We are proud to invest in our local community and partner with organisations that share our values.
As a business deeply invested in community, Backyard Co. shares VAAUS's passion for bringing people together, celebrating culture, and creating meaningful connections.
We are honoured to have Backyard Co. supporting this special celebration with renowned chef, author, and MasterChef Australia finalist Kishwar Chowdhury.
Thank you, Sadia and Shahriar, for partnering with VAAUS and helping us bring this memorable event to life.
💙 Together, we celebrate stories, culture, connection, and the power of community.
Start as Viqi, Stop at Nothing!
