Small Scale for Success

Join us for the upcoming Young Farmers Connect - Northern Rivers field day at Red Earth Farmers Fernleigh

This event is for YFC Members and non-members alike - all welcome - come and join our community of peer-support

A jam packed day out with heaps of opportunities to learn and explore a wide range of small farm enterprise. 

In partnership with Young Farmer Business Program we will be focussing on successful business strategy and enterprise opportunities for small scale farms in the region.

Neil and Belinda are first generation young farmers that run a successful and dynamic market garden enterprise servicing a number of farmers markets in the region with a wide variety of crops specialising in flowers and bagged salad mix.

We will be joined by Sourdough Business Pathways for a discussion on local business support and the services available to help get new growers to start up, skill up and scale up

Join us for a day of farm walks and talks while we continue to develop a community of support, build our regional network and local industry engagement
