Bruce Pascoe’s ‘Black Duck Foods’ charity has almost “burnt through” the $2.2 million in grants and donations received over the past four years, writer Tony Thomas says. Black Duck Foods is a charity that was set up to fund the running costs of Bruce Pascoe’s farm and revive what he describes as traditional food growing. Mr Thomas claimed the charity has only $200,000 left of the “free money”. “Within six months I’d say all that’ll be gone,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “Because it’s losing money at the rate of about a quarter of a million a year.”
