About the guest speaker: Mark Foletta manages a 450 ha traditional farming enterprise 12 km south of Benalla along with his own 10 ha of high-value horticultural land. Together with his father, Mark produces Angus cattle, prime lambs and Merino wool, as well as wine grapes and lucerne. In recent years Mark has diversified further, successfully applying for the first Victorian licence to harvest one-to-two tonnes of wild mushrooms annually, and planting two hectares of cherry trees and almost a hectare to heritage pumpkin varieties. Earlier this year, Mark was awarded the 2023 Award for Excellence in Diversification and Sustainability.
