EVENTS, FOOD & FIBRE FESTIVAL AND WHAT'S NEW!

The Telstra Women in Ag luncheon celebrates the vital role of rural and regional women in Australia.  The lunch provides the perfect platform to not only listen to some inspirational speakers but also to liaise and network with many other talented women.

* Ticket prices include entry to Farm World, lunch, entertainment, champagne on arrival and a gift bag to take home – amazing value and a must attend event!

The BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF at Farm World.  The concept is simple… it’s a hand milking competition – One Hand – One Teat – One Minute. The contestant who can extract the most milk within one minute wins the ‘Milk OFF’ trophy.

We have seen everyone from Councillors and the Media to baristas and school children fighting it out against their contemporaries for the glory of the Milk OFF trophy.

Alongside the crowd-pleasing hilarity of the BIG Gippsland Jersey Milk OFF, there will also be displays educating the crowd on the history of the dairy industry, and the contribution it makes to both the local economy and the Victorian milk supplies.

The Lardner Park Exhibition & Conference Centre will be transformed into a Food & Fibre Fiesta showcasing produce, products and information sessions in inspiring ways.

The Food & Fibre Fiesta promises a festive ambience of exhibitor sales, demonstrations and workshops running free-of-charge throughout the weekend. The program of demonstrations and workshops will roll over throughout the day, so visitors can stop and listen as they wish.

Kids young and old just love the Animal Nursery at Farm World.  There’s cuteness galore and plenty of education as well as volunteers to help you get up close and pat the animals.  Babies are a plenty with puppies, goat kids, piglets, guinea pigs, ducklings and maybe even a few cute kittens.

So head on down and say hi to the folks running the Animal Nursery – Jill, Barry, and Joe and all the fantastic student volunteers from Warragul Regional College.

A new introduction to Farm World is the dedicated Drone Zone, located adjacent to the Lakeside Arena.    In line with the latest developments in technology and practices, utilisation of drones is an industry game-changer, specifically agribusiness, emergency services and tradies across the globe.  A drone demonstration field is located alongside the drone zone so you can see for yourself what amazing things can be achieved with this brilliant technology.
