23.01.2022 Our next discussion group will be held With Richard and Georgie Hawkes at Hawkes Farm, Boneo. A mixed horticultural enterprise with interstate supply contracts and farm gate sales. Winners of a Gold Award for Excellence in Food Tourism in 2019 RACV Victorian Tourism Awards and a Bronze in 2018, Hawkes Farm is certainly setting the gold standard for Agritourism. This success story did not happen overnight though, its an intergenerational farming story of hard work, hardship,... success and failure and a modern-day story of mining gold in dirt. Richard, will take us through the vagaries of farming his patch, explaining how farming in Canada and the US opened his eyes to hidden opportunities, the challenges of farming on sandy soils, green manure crops, how they make their own compost to improve the soils moisture and nutrient holding capacity. Establishing collaborative partnerships to drive new business growth and vertical integration has helped build margins. Join us for what is sure to be an open, informative and entertaining session. All Welcome! See more

Here’s a little intro to Andi I am a farmer/bookkeeper from Tocumwal NSW, where I live with my husband and our 4 boys. I have a science degree and certificate 4 bookkeeping and accounting. I also have my own bookkeeping practice in Finley NSW and specialize in h...elping farm businesses. Hayden is the manager of a large-scale mixed broadacre cropping and livestock farm, and we currently own a small property nearby. We desperately wanted to buy a farm large enough to support ourselves so we joined the Cultivate Farms program in November. We were successful in getting an investor to back us, and have signed a contract to purchase a 640 acre neighbouring farm. Through using the tools that Cultivate Farms gave us, we were able to secure our ideal property and are now ready to embark on the next part of our farming journey. Tickets are going super fast and are limited to 100!
