The Growers Network

The Growers Network is a new, community-led initiative for local growers, farmers and producers. Whether you run a small-scale market garden, a hobby farm, or a commercial livestock farm this network is your shortcut to better tools, smarter practices, and a stronger local community. 

We are working with the Southern NSW Drought Hub, Local Land Services, Shoalhaven Food Network, Illawarra Shoalhaven Food Futures Task Force and other experts to deliver the best possible outcome.

What’s in it for you?

• Free Expert-Led Workshops: Get hands-on, practical strategies to drought-proof your land. Learn about soil water retention, soil health, agroforestry, and collaborative ways to get the most out of your property..

• A Network of Peers: Swap tips, share resources, and build a local support system of people who actually get the unique challenges of farming in our region.

• Collaberative opportunities: through the Growers Network we will be exploring ways to work together to increase local food supply and connect local growers, farmers and producers with local customers and businesses

Workshop Dates

Our workshop will kick off in September with exact dates to be announced soon. Join the network to receive updates and more information.
