Local Food and Farming Networking Evening
Do you want to be a part of the localised farming and food production future in Central Victoria?
Central Victoria is a region brimming with passionate people looking to get started in farming. It's also a region with an abundance of resources available to make that happen: potential land opportunities, keen investors, fantastic existing enterprises, bustling farmers markets, skilled individuals, tradespeople, mentors- all the pieces of the puzzle are right here, we just need to fit them together!
This is an event for anyone in Central Victoria (or interested in moving to the region) who wants to work towards a resilient, localised food future and who holds a piece of the puzzle to get there. Got a farming dream? A few (or a few hundred) acres you'd like to see managed and improved? Some business expertise? A nest egg you've been looking to invest? Come along and see where your piece might fit in the puzzle, or potentially find someone who holds the piece you've been looking for.
Date: Friday, March 26th
Where: The Belvedere at Jonai Farm and Meatsmiths, 129 Morgantis Road Eganstown
Time: 6pm
Cost: Free
All attendees will be given the opportunity to share their answers the following questions:
1. What is your local farming or food production interest, idea or dream?
2. What puzzle pieces do you have to offer and potentially share? This might be a business plan, land, capital, labour, skills, connections...anything you can think of.
3. What puzzle pieces are you currently missing to make your idea or dream a reality?
In the first half of the evening we'll share our answers to these questions with the group and build a valuable resource detailing what's on offer in the community. In the second half of the evening we'll share food together and have the opportunity to make connections and plans with others who might hold our missing piece.
Please bring some food or drink to share and your prepared answers to the three questions above.
The purpose of the event is to discover where our ideas might fit together and where we might be able to help each other out along the way. The direction we head from here is up to all of us. Looking forward to connecting!
*Please note this event will be held in an outdoor area. Numbers will be restricted and social distancing will be enforced according to COVID-19 regulations. Please RSVP.
