22ND & 23RD APRIL 2026
YAN YAN GURT WEST FARM, VIC
EARLY BIRD TICKETS OUT SOON!

GROUNDED is Australia’s roaming festival of farming, food and ecological care.

Each year we pitch up on a different farm, in a new region, showcasing the landscapes, people and ideas that make Australian agriculture so unique. In 2026 the festival will be held at the beautiful Yan Yan Gurt West farm near Dean’s Marsh in Southern Victoria.

Over two unforgettable days, Yan Yan Gurt West will come alive: bold conversations, standout speakers, hands-on workshops and paddock demonstrations across multiple stages. Add local food and drink, live music, on-site camping and starry skies – this is the gathering you’ll be talking about all year.

I cannot get over how excellent GROUNDED was!! I am still in awe. It feels like a movement, more than an event. Your intentionality and design made everyone feel so welcomed and inclusive. Just amazing.

Liz Brennan, Agdots

It was utterly brilliant, as well as learning and gaining motivation and momentum I built on existing friendships, made new ones and I feel better in myself.

GROUNDED 2024 Attendee

For me, the event is truly redefining how agriculture and food should come together to be celebrated, rather than the silos that often occur. It really is an incredible opportunity to build that connection and sense of the bigger relationship we should all hold across the food system. 

Joshua Gilbert, Indigenous Consultant, Agriculturist & Innovator

Wow, what a weekend. I loved how casual and informal the event felt. It truly felt like you could talk to anyone there about anything,including the speakers, which I had the absolute pleasure of sharing a few conversations with.
