Held in the heart of Victoria at Seymour’s Kings Park, the three-day expo runs from Friday, April 12 to Sunday, April 14, from 9am to 4pm each day.
Everything you could possibly want to know about the event is in the 60-page Seymour Alternative Farming Expo’s Official Event Guide, inside Country News today.
From exhibitor information and site map, to stories about what to see, do and eat, this is the ultimate guide to the Seymour Alternative Farming Expo.
Event manager Jo Smiles said with more than 400 exhibitors the expo has something for everyone.
“Come and explore the latest in technology, practices and trends in small and backyard farming, visit the animals and enjoy the market-style shopping, food and entertainment,” Jo said.
A stalwart of the farming calendar, the expo puts the spotlight on modern farming methods, agtech solutions and sustainability.
“As well as many of the familiar and much-loved faces, demonstrations and activities — such as the whip cracking and drone demonstrations — we welcome new exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge technological advancements, machinery and equipment which is ideal for small and medium-sized farming,” Jo said.
“There is an opportunity to get up close and personal with unique livestock breeds in our Livestock Hub, and to get up to date on animal and plant health and farm diversity ideas in the Small Farms Learning Hub.”
The expo continues to be a great family fun day out, with plenty of entertainment for all ages.
“The All 4 FMX motorcross demonstrations are back in this year’s line-up, as well as the Beloka Kelpies doing their working dog demonstrations,” Jo said.
“Farmer Darryl will have his mobile animal farm in the Kids’ Corner for families to interact with some feathered and furry friends, while the OzSort equine demonstrations impress in our Equine Arena.”
There are plenty of tasty food and drink options, cooking and butchery demonstrations, the always popular arts and craft displays and the show-stopping poultry sale.
“We look forward to seeing you there,” Jo said.

Please note: The Seymour Alternative Farming Expo’s Official Event Guide contains a number of references to the Australian Whipcrackers and Plaiters Association holding its Victorian championships at the expo.
The competition was cancelled after the guide was printed. We apologise for any confusion this may cause.
The Australian Whipcrackers and Plaiters Association will still run its popular whip-cracking demonstrations at the expo.
