Louisa Dunn farms potatoes, beef and sheep in Blackwood, an hour north of Melbourne. A city girl from Brighton, who married into a fifth generation farming family, Louisa has learnt more about potatoes than she knew there was to know. There are more than 4000 types of potatoes and the Dunn family is proud to grow around 20 of them, both for chipping and sending to market.

Louisa has become a keen advocate for regional farming communities such as hers; she’s a huge wrap for the Great Trentham Spudfest (May 2 & 3), which celebrates local potato farming families every autumn.

Royce Akers is one third of Pep, a peppy new Australian brand shaking up the world of pepper. Even though pepper has a dramatic and storied history, a driver of fortunes and cross-cultural connection, Royce and his friends thought it had lost its way a little: ubiquitous but under appreciated, rarely elevated or feted in the same way that salt is, for example.

From lack comes opportunity…

Bruce Maynard isn’t farming like those around him. His fields at Willydah, west of Dubbo in NSW, look different, greener, wilder, a little more chaotic. He’s a wheat and sheep farmer like many in the region, but he’s just as interested in lizards, migratory birds and native legumes as grain yield. Where the system pushes for simplicity, he’s valuing diversity and soil health, and looking for ways that agriculture can be both profitable and sustainable.

Read my story about Bruce Maynard and another wheat farmer and previous podcast guest, Jason Cotter.
