Are you an emerging rural leader? Do you want to increase your leadership knowledge to help navigate current business challenges, and build a close, diverse network of leaders to support you into the future?

Like many young leaders in agriculture spearheading successful ventures, Tim Eyes envisioned growth and expansion as the natural next steps for his business. But his experience on the TRAIL: Emerging Leaders Program has had a major influence on his vision for a sustainable impact.

Tim and his partner Hannah founded the Food Farm after spending years working in agriculture as consultants in a range of imperfect farming environments.

Returning from the TRAIL experience, Tim discovered that the program had challenged his assumptions about the next steps for his business.

TRAIL is an open enrolment fee-for-service program. Some participants self-fund, while others obtain support from their industry or workplace.

With 2 intakes per year, the next TRAIL program will run over 7 days from 28 October – 3 November in Canberra, and nearby Tharwa.
