FAS TV S6 Ep14
On this weeks FAS TV, we're in Fife at Peacehill Farm. Peacehill is a progressive family farming business owned and managed by the Forster family, producing cereals, potatoes, veg, energy crops, and poultry. Peacehill also has an on-farm gym owned and run by Ross's wife Emma, along with a major AD plant Peacehill Gas Limited. Ross Forster shares the history and growth of his family's business before we follow arable manager Hamish, and veg supervisor Pavlin on a busy day harvesting potatoes, cauliflower, and broccoli for supermarket retailers.
FAS TV covers a wide range of topics across sectors, as well as regular updates on regulatory and policy changes.
Agri Culture – Harvest Her Power: Katja Williams
In this episode, Mary-Jane Lawrie is joined by Katja Williams. Katja is an Australian farmer, podcaster, founder, homesteader, and author. Her life is built around Australian agricultural community and creating practical resources that help women to thrive on the farm. Through podcasting, she takes the opportunity to share stories of her own family farm, opinion pieces and good news about the industry. Through ‘The Ultimate Farmer’s Wife’ podcast she connected with women sharing their stories which inspired her to launch her not for profit organisation, ‘Harvest Her Power’. We discuss farming life in Australia, how she juggles the demands of farm work, her own business goals and running a national conference whilst raising a young family.
