AUSVEG VIC’s Schools on Farms program is proud to partner with project owners, Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority to deliver a new cross-industry Farms2Schools program – designed to get primary and secondary schools engaged with agriculture.

Farms2Schools is a new and innovative Victorian Government-funded program which will provide primary and secondary students with insights into how agricultural products get from the paddock to their plate.

Over the next six months, schools from across the Port Phillip and Western Port region will be teamed with local farmers who will share their experiences and knowledge through incursions and excursions.

There is a financial incentive for growers who wish to get involved in the Farms2Schools project.

Expressions of interest are now being accepted from Victorian vegetable growers that would like to be involved. Call Tim Withers on 03 9070 0704 or click here to fill out your expression of interest.

Schools on Farms is an AUSVEG VIC self-funded industry-led initiative, with support from Boomaroo Nurseries and the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation.
