Cultivator 5

You can own a farm

Cultivator is a proven farm ownership incubator program for next generation farmers and farmers who are ready to scale.

Cultivator offers farmers the chance to prove their skills and to dramatically increase their chances of finding a partner to co-own their farm.

Cultivator is delivering farm ownership outcomes for Australia’s next generation of farmers. The most recent program is culminating in a Cultivate Farm Pitch Event.

Cultivator Intensive

The next 4-month Cultivator program focuses on all agricultural enterprises.

We want to inspire you. We want you to realise that there are many ways you can find supporters and investments to get on your farm; investors, retiring farmers, and banks.

We will guide aspiring farmers to develop a farm pitch that can be used to unlock investment and co-ownership opportunities.

The best applications will be selected for presentation to the Cultivate Farms Investment Advisory board which could lead to investment outcomes. We are excited by this opportunity and should be another carrot for you to put your best boot forward.

As a result of participating in Cultivator, every farmer will have a farm pitch document and a presentation pitch which they can use to unlock farm ownership opportunities with retiring farmers and investors local to them.

Most importantly, each farmer will be full of confidence that they are good enough to co-own a farm and be motivated to keep finding opportunities.

What do aspiring farmers receive from participating in Cultivator?

At the end of this program all participants will have developed a:

• Farm pitch
• Financial modelling tool
• Three-minute summary pitch video.

Program outline:

Weekly video conference sessions focused on guiding you through the pitch and financial model. We have farming and investment experts from across Australia who will provide their wisdom and will be available to answer questions.

Six sessions to refine your proposal, and finalizing your pitch and video with 3 more sessions.
