"The Farm2Plate Exchange is one of the most exciting, exhilarating, inspirational shindigs I’ve been to in recent times … The energy, and the enthusiasm, the network and collaborating created here is just profound … This is truly one of the top food and farmscape changing seminars, maybe in the world"

Farm2Plate Exchange 2019

"A mind expanding couple of days, great speakers, amazing food and drink, priceless conversations. It highlighted opportunities, identified hurdles and common mistakes as well as solutions & better approaches. Greater knowledge, deeper understanding, I was entertained, educated and, most of all, inspired. You will be at a real disadvantage if you miss the next one. See you there."

Facilitation

I have had the pleasure of being a participant in 3 workshops that Rose Wright facilitated. I continue to be impressed and in awe of Rose's unique skill of highly tuned listening. Rose naturally has an empathetic understanding of what people are trying to say. Rose balances this listening skill beautifully with crowd control as she diplomatically can lead a diverse group with various opinions and often dominant personalities with ease. Rose miraculously brings harmonious outcomes and workshops to a strategic closure rapidly. I highly recommend Rose for strategic workshop facilitation!

Strategic Planning

In late 2015 Rose developed a strategic framework for FAN that identifies our vision, purpose and values and has guided our operations over the past 12 months. More recently Rose facilitated a workshop with our members to create a Food Provenance framework for the region. Rose's deep understanding of the food and tourism industries, along with her ability to get stakeholders to work together, makes her highly sort after in the development and delivery of initiatives that deliver real results.

Food Innovation

Rose helped us here at Nimbin Valley Dairy begin our journey to learn about agri-tourism and on-farm value adding of our produce. Through course work that we undertook with Rose's guidance we were able to critically evaluate our plans and develop a path to get there. Lots or strategic stuff and very helpful.

Agritourism

Our Agritourism journey began with Rose Wright a decade ago; that journey has taken us from 'just' dairy farmers to becoming one of the most recognised agritourism operators in our region and most importantly, we saved our family farm. We gained the skills to identify our story and our values which have become our Brand. We no longer just sell our farm produce, we sell an emotional connection to our family farm and our customers buy our products because of who we are and what we stand for. We recently had a refresher mentoring session with Regionality to review our brand moving forward. We are re-focussed, re-committed and re-energised, ready to take on another decade of agritourism.
