Regenerative Farmers is an action group of Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group.
We’re volunteers who work together to help farmers connect to share knowledge and support one other for a brighter, healthier, climate-adaptive and profitable future.
We host informal, not-for-profit social events and workshops – a great way to meet other farmers, learn new skills, share challenges and celebrate successes.
Anyone is welcome, whether the land you look after is vast or more modest in size and whether you’ve been farming all your life or are brand new to it all.
In February 2025 we hosted the very first GROW Festival of Regenerative Food & Farming, a one-day conference and field day at Kyneton Racecourse bringing almost 600 farmers, consumers and other change makers together to drive positive change in agriculture, food production and land stewardship.
Learn more about GROW here and on Instagram @growfestival.au
We can’t wait to tell you all about our plans for future events.
There’s plenty to do! Watch out here, on the MRSG member newsletter and GROW channels – we’ll put a call out for volunteers to help us create the next GROW.
In the meantime, please send us an email if you’d like to know more about Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group’s regenerative farmers’ action group.

A few weeks ago, the IPCC released a report titled, “Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability“. Even though the report focuses on impacts, vulnerabilities and adaptive practices on a global scale, I have tried to derive some adaptation principles that could be applied to the Macedon Ranges.
