Corporate Engagements, Seminars & Workshops
Max and Evelyn certainly have an inspirational story to tell. At the age of 15 Max wanted to become a pilot. His father pointed to a yard full of cow manure and said "There you go son, pilot over the fence". This was the beginning of a long and successful career in the dairy industry.
Max and Evelyn have a dream to develop the most technologically advanced farm in Australia, and through commitment and dedication are well on the way to achieving their goal. This is not a novelty project; there are serious productivity and efficiency gains being made on their farm and Max and Evelyn are happy to share their knowledge with the industry and the wider community. Speaking engagements for seminars and workshops - two hour presentation including handouts and questions. Price: $1100 flat fee (plus travel and accommodation expenses) Seminars or workshops may be developed in conjunction with a client, using the farm as a practical demonstration tool. Please contact us to discuss your suggestions.

Public Visitor Days
The Robot Dairy is a working farm and for quarantine reasons the complex is not open to the general public on a casual basis. However "Public Visitor Days" are held at regular times during the year to cater for individuals or family groups.
On such days regular conducted tours of the dairy take place; the Interpretive Centre is continually open. There is plenty of on-site parking. Visitors may wish to bring their own picnics and use the surrounding grounds or partake of refreshments provided by local not-for-profit organisations. The Public Visitor Day dates are widely advertised; opening hours are from 10.00am to 3.00pm.
Entry: $10.00 per head - children under 12 years free. It is not necessary to book ahead for these days. |
