FarmLink CONNECT is a relaxed Thursday afternoon catch-up for members and farmers — designed to share practical insights, showcase current research, and strengthen connections across our region.

Each CONNECT event brings together an industry guest speaker and a FarmLink representative to explore timely topics relevant to mixed farming systems in southern NSW. Sessions are interactive, practical and grounded in real-world experience.

Following the presentations, stay on for drinks and nibbles as we wind down, network and continue the conversation.
