THE Seymour Alternative Farming Expo is proud to announce its return for an incredible 35th year, bringing three days of innovation, education and entertainment to the heart of regional Victoria from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 April.<\/p>\n

As one of the state’s most enduring and respected agricultural events, the expo continues to champion alternative and sustainable farming practices, showcasing the latest developments for small acreage landowners, hobby farmers, and producers seeking practical, forward\u2013thinking solutions.<\/p>\n

This year’s program will feature a wide range of exhibitors, demonstrations, livestock displays, educational sessions, and family-friendly attractions.<\/p>\n

Visitors can expect a mix of returning favourites alongside exciting new additions, reflecting the evolving landscape of modern farming.<\/p>\n

Event organisers say the 35\u2013year milestone is a testament to the expo’s strong community support and its ongoing relevance to producers navigating a changing climate, shifting market conditions and rapid industry innovation.<\/p>\n

“Reaching the 35th year is an incredible achievement,” event manager Joanne Bartlett said.<\/p>\n

“The Seymour Alternative Farming Expo has grown and adapted over decades, but our purpose has stayed the same – to connect people with ideas, equipment and expert knowledge that can genuinely make a difference on their land.”<\/p>\n
