Description

On the first episode of our ‘Share Farming‘ Season we explore the other side to the story of our most popular episode of Season 1: a conversation with Katie and Hugh Finlay, founders of the Harcourt Organic Farming Co-op.As ageing farmers who saw they had a responsibility to nurture a future generation land stewards, Katie and Hugh finally landed on share farming as a fabulous solution.This time around have a conversation with young farmers Sas Allardice (one half of Gung Hoe Growers) and micro dairy farmer Tess Sellars, both members of the Harcourt Organic Farming Co-op.With little capital, Sas and Tess knew they had to think outside the square when it came to accessing land and equipment. We hear how they made it work for them -- legally and financially – and the hard work, strong values, and sense of humour that helped them along the way.Links and resources:https://gunghoegrowers.com.au/what-we-do-and-why-we-do-it/ (Visit the Gung Hoe Growers website)https://gunghoegrowers.com.au/contact/ (Subscribe the Gung Ho Growers newsletter)https://www.instagram.com/gunghoegrowers/?hl=en (Gung Ho Growers on Instagram)https://www.sellardairy.com.au/ (Visit the Stellar Farmhouse Creamery website and subscribe)https://farmingtogether.com.au/future-proofing-your-farm-using-a-collaborative-approach/?cid=304 (Listen to our podcast with Katie and Hugh Finlay of Harcourt Organic Farming Co-op)https://farmingtogether.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Farming-Together-Case-Study-Harcourt-Organic-Food-Coop.pdf (Read the Harcourt Organic Farming Co-op Case Study)https://farmingtogether.com.au/talking-about-your-generation/ (Watch Farming Together’s Talking about Your Generation Webinar on Succession Planning with Katie & Hugh Finlay and Lorraine Gordon)https://hofcoop.com.au/ (Visit the Harcourt Organic Farming Co-op website)https://www.facebook.com/HarcourtOrganicFarmingCoop/ (Like Harcourt Organic Farming Co-op on Facebook)
