Away from the madding crowd

The theme for the TFGA pavilion at this year’s Agfest is a combination of ideas: a common room, an oasis, a refuge, a port in the storm.

To call it an oasis at an event like Agfest may be gilding the lily but you get the picture.

Agfest runs from Thursday, May 7 to Saturday, May 9.

There is a new location this year, 811 Eighth Avenue, next to DPIPWE, and again it is going to be the place to duck into, put your bags down, slip into a seat, have a coffee, relax and talk farming.

However, the madding crowd will be just outside the tent and free to enter as well.

The TFGA is proudly hosting:

Sheep Connect, AWI’s key investment in extension for the Tasmanian sheep and wool industries;
