Farmers open their gates for firsthand look at life on the land

Victoria’s Velisha Farms reveals the story behind our veggies.

VEG Schools program is delivered by VEG Education at Velisha Farms.

Werribee horticulture business Velisha Farms and the Victorian Farmers’ Federation are changing the way Victorian school children engage and think about horticulture by offering primary schools across the state the opportunity to go behind the scenes of Velisha Farms and learn first hand about where their food comes from.

The program, which is funded by the VFF, aims to give young people a positive and holistic look at the everyday operations of farming, opening up the conversation about food, horticulture and sustainability.

The program also hopes to inspire young girls to consider a career in agriculture by showcasing women in roles along the supply chain.
