Cultivate Farms
Cultivate Farms, founded by Dingee Dairy farmer Sam Marwood, explores and helps to create new farm ownership opportunities for next gen farmers across Australia. The business is focused on empowering Next gen farmers to uncover their farm ownership pathway, by matching retiring farmers and new farmers to find a shared farm ownership solution.
Cultivate Farms wants to encourage communities to be their own match makers and have a free ‘Cultivate Communities’ program to empower community champions to work alongside potential partnerships to uncover farm ownership matches.
The vision of Cultivate Farms is to rejuvenate regional communities by attracting and keeping many who return to regional communities and proving that farm ownership is possible for the next generation.
Objectives
We acknowledge and respect Victorian Traditional Owners as the original custodians of Victoria’s land and waters, their unique ability to care for Country and deep spiritual connection to it. We honour Elders past and present whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices. We are committed to enabling self-determination for all Aboriginal people and aim to work closely with the Aboriginal community to drive action and improve outcomes especially in the context of a changing climate.
