Visit working farms, talk to our farmers, enjoy where our unique produce is grown and produced. Our Cooloola Farmers Trail Tour captures a variety of local farms in the Cooloola region that open their farm gates for one weekend per year as part of the annual Cooloola Farmers Trail weekend in September. These farms will share knowledge about their farming practices and how they helping the region grow its reputation as major food producers.
Please remember you will be visiting farms, so come prepared with closed in shoes and water. For many this is not just their business it is also their home, so please be respectful while visiting their property.
