The 2026 Chatsworth House Field Day is co-hosted by Chatsworth House Pastoral and the Upper Hopkins Land Management Group (UHLMG) — two organisations united by a shared commitment to sustainable, profitable farming and thriving rural communities in Western Victoria.
Chatsworth House Pastoral is a regenerative-inspired family farm in Victoria's Western District, working to profitably regenerate the landscape while strengthening the communities that depend on it. Integrating people, plants, and animals to build resilient ecosystems, healthy soils and thriving biodiversity, Chatsworth House is proud to open its gates as a space where ideas meet practical know-how in the paddock.
UHLMG is a community-based Landcare organisation working across approximately 250,000 hectares of the Upper Hopkins landscape — from Ararat and Beaufort, south-west to Lake Bolac and along the eastern boundary of the Grampians National Park. Driven by a mission to protect the environment, encourage productivity and engage the community, UHLMG supports farmers and landholders to build natural capital and farm sustainably for current and future generations.
Together, they're bringing you the 2026 Field Day: Bringing together Natural Capital and Farm Business — two days of thoughtful speakers, practical demonstrations, and genuine connection with farmers, advisors, innovators and community leaders who care about the future of Australian agriculture.
