QFF is hosting a Tips and Tools for Tough Times workshop for farmers on Thursday 18 June with Elizabeth McNaughton, Founder of Disastrous.

Farming is unpredictable. Drought, natural disasters, global market shifts, and the pressure of carrying it all can wear even the toughest of us down. This workshop is your chance to step back, connect with others who get it, and arm yourself and those around you with some genuinely useful tools.

Elizabeth will guide you through the Doing Well cards, a practical deck of 100 cards that distils decades of recovery knowledge and neuroscience into simple, everyday actions. You'll build a personalised wellbeing and resilience plan you can actually use on the farm.

📆 Thursday, 18 June 2026
🕘 9am arrival for 9:30am start - 2:30pm
📍 Miners Lantern Event Space, Tamborine Mountain Glades
Tamborine Mountain Rd & Cedar Creek Falls Rd,
Tamborine Mountain, QLD 4272

This workshop is being delivered by QFF as a joint initiative of the Farm Business Resilience Program (jointly funded by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the Queensland Government) and the Industry Recovery and Resilience Officer Program (funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements).

Local food resilience isn't just about moving food. It's about reproducing the human capacity to grow food. As well as our Farmer Education programs, we are happy to promote grassroots initiatives to build everyone's capacity to grow their own! Below is an upcoming event from Cairns Seedsavers. There are a few Seed Saving groups across the far north - check out your local group, or community garden, and get your hands in the soil this growing season.
