Sprout Tasmania We are a not for profit organisation dedicated to supporting and empowering small Tasmanian food producers get their ideas off the ground and into market.

https://linktr.ee/sprouttasmania Sprout Tasmania is all about promoting great Tasmanian food and the state's small producers. We are a non-profit, volunteer run organisation with a big vision! We work hard to educate, support and empower small producers to get their ideas in the ground, growing and to market. To realise our goals, we run an annual education program called the Sprout Producer Program (SPP) as well as events which foster connections, learning, knowledge sharing and positive outcomes for all in the Tasmanian food community. Sprout welcomes financial, in-kind and volunteer support from like minded individuals and organisations.

🎙️Hello Panel! Kylie Rattray & Anita Long talk agricultural education.

Sarah Thomas from Eat Well Tasmania joins us to facilitate a discussion about alternate pathways into educating our next agricultural champions. Kylie Rattray and Anita Long will share how their roles as educators have given platforms for potential farmers and land custodians to thrive. Going against the grain from “traditional” education models, both Stronach View Farm and Tasmanian Junior Beekeepers Association allow students to see great value in agricultural ambition.

Come and hear Sarah in conversation with Kylie and Anita in their panel ‘Beyond the Textbook - Alternative Approaches to Education the Farmers of the Future’.

🎙️Hello Panel! Portia Whatley & Jennifer Robinson talk regulations.

Felicity Richards joins us to facilitate a discussion about all things regulations. As well as Felicity herself, both of our panelists, Portia Whatley & Jennifer Robinson, will give us great insight into navigating Tasmania's agricultural regulations. In what seems like a world of high hurdles, Portia, Jen & Felicity will dive deep into how farmers can navigate what are often scale-inappropriate regulations.

Come and listen to these three powerhouses on their panel ‘When the Rules Don’t Fit - Persistence, Advocacy and Challenging Scale-Inappropriate Regulation’.

🎙️Hello Speaker! - Kylie Rattray joins us at Cross Pollinate 2026.

Kylie Rattray grew up on a family mixed farm in Tasmania’s north-east, where agriculture wasn’t simply an industry, but a way of life. Having spent years gaining a diverse range of education and skills across Australia, Kylie has returned to her agricultural roots and landed a unique role at Scottsdale High School.

The Stronach View Farm campus of Scottsdale High School has grown since Kylie started working there two decades ago, with very exciting opportunities on the horizon using emerging technologies, recently funded virtual fencing trials, and the planned development of a new educational learning centre.

Kylie will speak on an exciting panel called ‘Beyond the Textbook - Alternative Approaches to Educating the Farmers of the Future’.

🎙️Hello Speaker! Daniel Lore joins us at Cross Pollinate 2026.

Daniel Lore is the generous land steward and co-creator of this year's Cross Pollinate venue, Ripple Farm Landscape Healing Hub. Since taking over the custodianship in 2017, the property has been transitioned into regenerative management. An emphasis has been given to restoring ecology and function from deep in the soil to the tops of the trees. 

Daniel will share some of his reflections of what he has learnt from the property, the people who guided him, and the history of the region as farming aspirations change. You will also have the opportunity to walk with Dan over the farm during our afternoon Gratitude Planting sessions.
