First Monday Young Farmer Meetings

Get Involved: Monthly Club Meetings

Young farmers gather for the monthly club meeting to build practical skills and leadership experience in a relaxed setting. The session suits adults aged 16-31 who work on the land or are starting out in agriculture. Attendees take part in group discussions on current farming topics, share seasonal challenges, and hear short presentations from experienced members. The format mixes informal networking with focused skill-building activities that help participants grow in their roles.

This young-farmers session runs on the first Monday of every month. New faces are welcome and the group keeps the atmosphere supportive for anyone keen to learn from others in the district.
