Discover farming innovation at the first Maleny Farm Fest

THE Maleny Agricultural Show Society will launch the inaugural Maleny Farm Fest, a one-day celebration of innovation, resilience and opportunity in farming.

The festival will be held on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at the Maleny Showgrounds. More than 35 exhibitors and multiple food vendors are already confirmed, with new sign-ups continuing daily.

Maleny Farm Fest is designed to support the region’s landholders and producers, from small block owners to large-scale farmers, offering a full day of education, practical demonstrations and networking. AgForce will be onsite with an exhibit and presentation of a key talk on farm safety, Allclass Yandina will showcase machinery, while Aussie Drones will demonstrate technology and a hands-on simulator experience.

A speaker program across three venues will feature more than 16 presenters. Highlights include Tim Bradley from the National Farmers Federation on careers in agriculture, Meat & Livestock Australia with its Small Farm Handbook, and Council on pest and animal management.

Competitions will add to the festival atmosphere – including a Bush BBQ Challenge and Pallet Build-Off. Organisers say the event will showcase Maleny’s agricultural diversity and connect producers with the wider community.
