A jam packed day out with heaps of opportunities to learn and explore small farm enterprise and how they manage to turn sustainability into success.

In partnership with Tweed Shire Councils - Sustainability Program we have an amazing opportunity to visit Fabian Fabbro and Jodie Vicaars farm as they explore farming for a healthier, sustainable future and relish the joy of living on the land.  

Woodland Valley Farm is a completely off-grid enterprise that also offers amazing value added produce such as duck eggs artisan pasta, sauces inspired by Fabian’s Italian heritage and duck egg custard.

We also welcome discussion and opportunity to network with Amy Colli a leading local agritoursim expert and representative from Destination Tweed
