NFP and health promotion charity building stronger and more resilient farming communities.
About us
Active Farmers is a NFP and health promotion charity. It was founded in 2015 in response to the growing concerns about mental health issues in rural areas, growing isolation rising from expanding farm technology, and the scarcity of locally available health and wellbeing activities in small rural communities. Active Farmers proactively addresses rural and remote farming community access issues through regular group fitness in a fun and interactive environment. Active Farmers currently operates in 63 small rural communities across Australia with a target of 100 communities by the end of 2024.

An outstanding video from Delta Agribusiness. Our Founding Sponsor at Active Farmers. For the past six years, Delta Agribusiness has been there, believing in our mission and supporting our growth. Their commitment to rural communities and dedication to making a difference aligns perfectly with ours. We're incredibly proud to have them as a key partner. Thank you, Delta Agribusiness, for everything you do and for always going above and beyond! How good is Murray Hartin! Chris Duff Gerard Hines Dean Kinlyside
🌾 When the Right Words Tell the True Story of the Land 🌾 We understand the highs and lows that come with life on the land. So, when we had the chance to collaborate with Murray Hartin, legendary bush poet and voice of rural Australia, we knew he’d capture our story perfectly. Through Murray's words, we’re sharing the experiences of the farmers, advisers, and communities we support—those who feel that "farming gene coursing through their veins" and navigate everything from bumper crops to the toughest droughts. Our team in towns and paddocks across Australia, working to deliver the products and advice that keep things moving forward. We’re honored to be part of the resilient Australian Rural community, and we’re excited to share Murray’s take on what it means to grow, thrive, and overcome. Have a listen and join us in celebrating the work, dedication, and strength that define life on the land.

Help Active Farmers Drive Change In The Bush. I am very proud to be on the Board of Active Farmers, a not-for-profit charity that addresses the concerning issues of poor mental health and alarming suicide rates in rural Australia. Sport is a huge part of the social fabric of rural and regional communities. But as we get older, hang up the boots or retire the netball bib, how do adults stay active, healthy, and more importantly, connected to our community? Active Farmers is enhancing rural well-being through community-centred fitness in regions with scarce access to such services. With the generous support of sponsors Delta Agribusiness, FMC Corporation, and Australian John Deere Dealerships, a 6140M John Deere Tractor with 643R Loader, valued at a whopping $280,716 could be yours. Every ticket purchased contributes to Active Farmer's growth, enabling us to reach more people. So, why not join this collective effort to boost rural health? Buy a ticket, spread the word about our latest fundraiser, and see the impact you can make. “A ticket doesn’t just get you in with the chance to win a tractor - but also helps save lives.” Buy a ticket here: https://lnkd.in/g4e8vU74

These City2Surf legends from Boyce have not only trained hard, but have raised a jaw dropping $30,000 for Active Farmers. Out of 785 teams, they’ve finished 10th spot on the C2S fundraising leader board! 👏 It was a cracking day and a cold drink at the Bondi Bowling Club was the perfect cool down. Thank you team Boyce - an incredible result. https://lnkd.in/geUAJN9X Linda Mackellar Carmen Caldwell Julie Schofield Nicole Killen

Here is where it all began: Ginny Stevens, founder of Active Farmers, recognised that sport plays a crucial role in the social fabric of rural and regional communities. She understood that mimicking the team sport effect was key to building strength and resilience among the people. Each and every month across all corners of the country, Active Farmers now runs more than 300 group fitness classes in 65 small farming communities, drawing more than 1500 participants. 👏 https://lnkd.in/gN37TWXH Our generous partners: Delta Agribusiness Westpac LAWD Nufarm Boyce FMC Corporation Gallagher Hutcheon & Pearce

Every dollar makes a difference to Active Farmers and the success of our Sports Lunch saw us raise $100,000. This amount has a significant impact, providing vital support to the equivalent of 15 small farming communities that otherwise would have limited or no access to fitness services and equipment over the next 12 months. AMAZING 🙏!!! Thank you to everyone who joined us, particularly our special guests Anna Meares OAM OLY Mark Geyer OAM Tim Horan AM Nick Farr-Jones and Nick McArdle.
