Georgie Somerset is a rural industry leader and a trailblazer. While a lot of us know her as the president of AgForce, and her many board roles including the ABC, and the National Farmers Federation, it's what she did decades ago that I've loved digging up. Georgie is one of the pioneers of agri-tourism. Growing up the land, she was just 17 when she set up a farm stay business on her family farm, later establishing national farm tourism body. After working in the city for a while, she eventually moved to her husband's farm, taking her fax machine with her, and used it to run her business, working remotely in the 80s and 90s well before Covid made it cool! Georgie has raised three kids on the land  who are now all grown up, and she takes us through how she's managed it all. This is her story.
