YAPS (Young Agricultural Professionals)

This group formed via funding received from Caring for our Country's Community Action Grant project dubbed “Farmer Wants a Life” was designed to encourage and support young farmers (under 45) and their families to come together and network - “Farmers talking to Farmers”. The group aims to encourage more young farmers to become involved with Landcare, showcase “best practice” properties, promote and ground truth these practices with knowledge-sharing opportunities for potential greater adoption.

Each of these get-togethers involves sharing a meal together, with plenty of time for social activities.  Partners and children are welcome.
