Grow2026
Join the Grow team for a big, relaxed day of learning and connection at GROW Farming Festival on Friday February 20 at Kyneton Racecourse. Weβre bringing farmers, consumers and other change makers together to drive positive change in agriculture, food & fibre production and land stewardship.
We hope all is okay at your place. Itβs been a big few weeks of fire and floods on the heels of a long dry spell. We know things are tough. Weβre approaching GROW 2026 with even greater resolve. Learning new ways to farm, improve profitability and care for the landscape, livestock, ourselves and each other feels more urgent than ever before.
Weβre really proud of what weβve created: a huge program of more than 40 talks, discussions, workshops and demonstrations across four learning hubs βΒ animals, soil, plants, people β and the adjoining GROW paddock. PLUS beautiful food & drinks available to purchase all day, music, a charity auction and more!
Grab your friends and your work team and make a big day of it.
