From innovative agribusinesses to sustainable family farms, each tour showcases the resilience, creativity, and leadership of women and producers across a range of agricultural industries.

These tours are more than just a road trip, they’re an opportunity to connect with people, meet inspiring local producers, and gain behind-the-scenes insight into some of SA’s most dynamic farms and food businesses.
