Summary of Episode 41 of Cultivate Farms TV:
- Feedback from the 14 farms pitched to the investor
We had 14 aspiring farmers pitch their farms. We unpacked the proposals over 6 hours with an investor, Andrew Bomm who built the pitching template and Ed Hunter who is overseeing the marketplace website build and Sam Marwood.

We wanted to do a shout out to MLA who have given us a grant through the Producer Fasttrack Program to get the Farm Pitching Marketplace up and running. Without their funding support we couldn’t have been able to super charge our work and we wouldn’t be this close to finding dream farms for you aspiring farmers.
We are hopeful of getting a second round of funding, which is why we are again calling on aspiring farmers to sign up to help us match the funding we could receive from them.
If you have a great idea and area producer, we recommend you apply for the Fast Track program - you will see a video of me on there. https://www.mla.com.au/about-mla/mla-donor-company/producer-innovation-fast-track-program/
