Celebrating Gippsland’s women in dairy

GIPPSDAIRYS annual ladies’ lunch is taking place this year on the sprawling grounds of the Narkoojee Winery and Restaurant in Glengarry North.

The event – being held on Thursday, November 23 – is organised by the Women in Dairy Discussion Group to celebrate the hard work and successes of women across the region. It is an opportunity to leave the farm and network with like-minded individuals, hear from inspiring guest speakers, and win some great prizes.

The lunch will feature keynote speaker Chloe Brown. Chloe is a passionate dairy farmer from South-west Victoria and sits on numerous committees within the dairy industry. She co-created the ‘Cream of the Crop’ conference to educate, encourage and connect women in dairy.

Chloe also hosts the ‘More than Milk’ podcast, showcasing the incredibly talented and diverse people that make up the Australian dairy industry. For this event, Chloe will present a live podcast featuring Gippsland dairying women, Alanah Moore and Sarah Kelly.

The event MC will be Rose Atherton, who has been involved with Gippsland’s Women in Dairy group for over 16 years. Rose and her husband operate two dairy farms and supply a micro-dairy in Melbourne. Recently, Rose also took part in Dairy Australia’s Farmer Ambassador Program.

Registrations close on Thursday, November 16 and the event is expected to be fully booked.

GippsDairy would like to thank its major sponsor Gardiner Dairy Foundation, with additional support from ProviCo Rural Australia and the Bega Group.
