If you are interested in becoming a high value producer of food or fibre, join us for an information evening.

Whether you currently value add your own produce and want to take your business to the next level or you are interested in exploring the opportunities to diversify your farming income by value adding, come along and find out about the programs on offer to support you develop your venture and change from price taker to price maker.

This information event is designed to give you an overview of

- consumer insights,

- big picture trends and

- examples of others who have taken the step to change.

Following the event those who are interested in taking their ideas and options further, will be offered the option to participate in a fully funded Farm to Plate Business Innovation Program, a series of six full-day workshops and one-on-one mentoring designed to help you to prepare to establish and/or improve your own food or fibre value added business.

Why should I come?

Because this could be just the boost you need to help you innovate, start a new venture or take your existing venture to the next level. Meet other people trying to grow in the same way. Be part of a network of positive people who want to investigate possibilities and explore their potential to provide an alternative or additional income stream or succession planning opportunity to keep family members on the land.

Who can participate?

Farmers, producers, food innovators and rural land owners in the Wakool region and surrounds: whether you’ve never even considered value adding, farm to plate or you have an idea that you want to bring to life, apply for this program and we will help you decide if the program is right for you.

This project was funded by the Australian Government under the Murray–Darling Basin Economic Development Program.
