Bonjour fermier! Popup garlic farmers is a unique course, an experience of farming where you can grow and sell a crop. It starts at the end of February and runs all the way to November. Farmer Incubator brings in the expertise to guide participants along the way. During workshop 3, farmer Remi (pictured) demonstrated the BCS walk behind tractor. Trained in France 🇫🇷 he can also operate bigger tractors as well as draft horses 🐴 #pugf2019

Hello folks ! 🍁We are looking for some keen bean helpers to plant some garlic for Pop-up Garlic Farmers 2020 ! We are planning a day of action on ANZAC Day 25th April from 9:00am so come down and join us at Days Walk Farm (27 Koronis Road, Keilor). You will be helping to ensure that this program will run again next year, and that we will have enough garlic seed to support 20+ participants / future farmers ! Your help really means a lot to us as we are very busy organising the current PUGF program 😬 Please share this with others, we hope to see you there ! 😉

At our Soils workshop with Chris Alenson, we are applying multiple basic tests to understand what the structure, texture and composition of our soil samples are, which the teams have collected from each of the five sites. A highly informative session of how we can amend our soils to a healthy state to give our garlic the best start to life ! #soillife #pugf2019 #farming #farmerincubator #outdoorlab

First site visits have been happening at all 5 sites ! They have been eager to get on location to see where their garlic will be grown and to meet the landowners too ! They have also been tasked to collect soil samples ahead of the PUGF soil workshop this coming weekend ! The Keilorians are growing on quite a bit of history, was first cultivated for market gardening around the 1850s. There is said to be remnants of a flying fox from the top of the hills down the valley which was used for training in the world war. The crew are very excited about being situated here next to the Maribyrnong river, it’s just ideal ! #pugf2019 #farminghistory #nextgenfarmers #swimmingbreaks

PUGF has officially started and we are off at full blast in this 37 degree heat ! We enjoyed an afternoon of watermelon introductions, peer exercises, and brainstorming, led by @kat.lavers and a crop enterprise budget plan shared by Paul. We are looking forward to working alongside this bunch of enthusiastic, engaged, and passionate group of people! Thank you to @collingwoodchildrensfarm one of our sites for hosting the space for our first workshop ! #pugf2019 #nextgen #growingyoungfarmers #learning #supportaussiefarmers #foodsovereignty #garlic #workshop
