Small farms network

  • Context: Regional

Local Land Services Greater Sydney Small Farms Network was established in 2019 following a regional landholder needs assessment which revealed landholders wanted connection with other landholders and more information about sustainable agriculture and land management.

The network has grown from 320 members at establishment, to 1,176 members by April 2025 and connects diverse landholders – ranging from lifestyle landowners to full-time farmers.

The network helps landholders learn about:

  • managing and caring for animals
  • improving soil health
  • managing weeds and pests
  • growing great veggies
  • best grazing techniques
  • managing your orchard
  • making your small farm more productive and sustainable.
