Afternoon Session – In-Person Farm Tour:In the afternoon, an in-person farm tour will take place - starting at Pecan Farm Guesthouse. The tour will give local farmers, partners, and stakeholders the opportunity to see sustainable farming in action—exploring how regenerative principles are being applied on the ground.
The day will be led by Valerie and Graeme Whyte, who have been instrumental in shaping the vision and direction of this family-run farm. Rooted in a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, they’ve transformed the farm into a living example of innovation and sustainability working hand in hand. From reducing inputs to improving carbon footprints, the Whytes are rethinking conventional practices and pushing boundaries to shape a more resilient farming future.
