We’re pioneers of livestock performance, productivity and profitability, holding the Southwest Promar International Milkminder award. We’re also leading the way in crop biodiversity, as a base for ADAS’s environmental research plots.‏‏‏‎ ‎

400-HECTARE CLASSROOM

You’ll benefit from one 400-hectare award-winning farming business across five rural sites that work with Müller, AVP, and RJ Kerr. Our main 72-hectare Home Farm is on campus, with four other farms nearby. You'll have plenty of opportunities to apply theory to practice, developing your expertise across the entire food supply chain.

PUT THEORY TO PRACTICE

The commercial focus of all of our farming activities provides plenty of opportunities to gain experience, both inside and outside your learning. Home Farm offers hands-on voluntary, internship and paid roles throughout the year. Students develop a range of skills aimed at yielding consumer products in a sustainable and profitable way.‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

AWARD-WINNING QUALITY
