Mornington Peninsula Future Farmers Pathway Program

Torello Farm is working with other local farms and the Mornington Peninsula Shire to build the next generation of small-scale farmers on Mornington Peninsula land.

Seed funding for this program was made possible by Agriculture Victoria. Since September 2023, students have participated in our pilot program under the guidance of our market garden lead. The Mornington Peninsula is one of Melbourne's most important food bowls. Prime agricultural land on the Peninsula is abundant, but increasingly hard to access. This Program creates a pathway for new farmers to have opportunities to access land and learn sustainable farming practices.
