Organic farmer Ray Palmer<\/strong> will be sharing his passion for farming at the “The Future of Food in the Burnett” workshop which will be held in Kingaroy later this month.<\/p>\n

Mr Palmer, from Symara Organic Farm south of Warwick, says one thing a lot of farmers don\u2019t do well is work their lifestyle into their farm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe farm needs to be a fun place to work, somewhere the next generation wants to be, something the farmer enjoys,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Palmer said the key to maintaining a passion for farming was to diversify.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy making each day different to the day before keeps it challenging, exciting and a lot more fun,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood profits will come from diversification and building strong relationships within the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The free workshop has been organised by local not-for-profit group Growing the Burnett inc.<\/p>\n

It will be held in the Kingaroy Town Hall Supper Room on Saturday, November 10, from 6:30pm.<\/p>\n

Other presenters include Alexina Johnson, the owner-operator of a successful agribusiness and chair of the “Seasons Of The Sun” Sunshine Coast Food and Beverage Group, and Ann Michael and Deb Davis, from Finding Common Ground Ltd.<\/p>\n

Ms Michael said research carried out by Finding Common Ground on the Sunshine Coast and Mary Valley regions showed that the keys to a successful supply chain in the food production industry were communication and information.<\/p>\n

“The study showed there was a demand for locally produced food that had a short supply chain and remained local,” she said.<\/p>\n

Brian Jarvis will provide an update on the progress of Growing The Burnett Inc.<\/p>\n
