More than 60 vegetable growers and agronomists attended a drone demonstration night in Middle Tarwin earlier this month. Food & Fibre Gippsland’s VegNET Regional Development Officer Emily Scott coordinated the event in partnership with Schreurs & Sons, Syngenta, and E.E. Muir & Sons.

With just a few days to go until the closing date for entries in this year’s premier industry event, Gippsland agribusinesses are being encouraged to submit an application and be in the running for recognition.

There’s something special happening in the heart of Stratford, a small town right in the heart of Gippsland. Usually found in the eclectic laneways of Melbourne, coffee culture is making a name for itself at the delightful Badger & Hare Café.

Due to successive, disruptive weather events experienced by Gippsland businesses in recent times and their considerable impacts on many within the food and fibre sector, including our valued members and stakeholders, Food & Fibre Gippsland has decided to extend the date for applications for the Gippsland Food and Fibre Awards to Sunday 14th April.

The celebratory evening, at which the awards will be presented, will now take place on Friday the 31st of May.
