Tom farms 20 Hectares North West of Gingin with his wife, Emma and two daughters, Darcie and Grace. Tom and Emma began developing the farm in November 1999. Their enterprise is comprised of a market garden where they grow pumpkins in the summer and mixed cover crops in the winter and an orchard producing limes and three varieties of mandarin.

Since 2012 they have taken a more biological / regenerative approach to their farming. Their objective is to grow tasty, nutritious food and run a profitable business. Their farming practices aim to maximise soil carbon and biological diversity. They have introduced cover cropping and green manuring to their market garden operation and have drastically reduced the amount of cultivation. They are currently working on increasing the diversity of inter-row species in their orchard as well as increasing the organic matter levels under our trees. They have eliminated the use of all fungicides from our operation and drastically reduced the amount of pesticide use.

Monitoring plant and soil conditions are the keys to the success of their operation. Plant nutrition, soil nutrition, soil moisture are all measured with the aim of growing the healthiest plant possible.

Ronnie has over thirty years experience working in creative communications and is a co-founder and Chairman of Meerkats. He's passionate about encouraging a better form of capitalism and acts on this by helping companies to be purpose-led, and by focusing on sectors that can make a disproportionate difference to creating a better world.

For him, the food and agriculture sector offers a great opportunity to do this, as what we consciously choose to eat is one of our most powerful acts - although he recognises that both he and his family depend on good farmers since his own veggies patch is currently unpredictable.

Mitchell East is a third-generation farmer from the Southern Forests region of Manjimup, farming passionfruit, avocados, sheep and cattle.

With his partner Jennifer they have a keen interest in regenerative farming and have taken a new approach to their passionfruit crop, by building a processing facility on farm they have been able to utilize 100% of their crop and utilize other farmer’s fruits for value adding purposes. This approach to waste has opened up many of opportunities to work closely with other farmers and to create a value for them out of a resource that has historically been underutilized.

This has given him strong board experience and the opportunity to talk to industry decision makers and politicians and his experience as a young farmer.
