Workshop Series For Farmers, Producers & Artisans

Get hands-on, practical experience with tools that will make your life easier, cut down on admin time, help you get noticed by customers, and get your books in order.

The Gippsland Digital Toolkit Series is for farmers, producers, artisans, and anyone who runs a food or agriculture business where the real work doesn’t happen in the office. In these four sessions, you’ll learn how to set up and manage your own social media, website, and online sales, organise your bookkeeping and admin, use technology to better manage stock and inventory, and more.

All sessions are delivered free of charge to help out locals like you.

Technology doesn’t have to be a hassle. With the right tools, you can get yourself sorted and get back to doing the work that matters.
