Welcome to Farm Writers

Connect | Inform | Inspire

The Farm Writers' Association of NSW is the leading independent thought leadership platform and networking and development organisation for rural journalism and agricultural professionals in New South Wales.

We hold regular lunches and evening networking functions to bring people involved in farming, food and fibre together with agribusiness leaders and rural storytellers, discussing issues and developments relevant to rural and regional communities.

FARM WRITERS TO BECOME
NSW RURAL PRESS CLUB

At a Special General Meeting on Friday 30 January 2026, with a unanimous vote of the members present and voting, the Farm Writers’ Association of NSW resolved to change its name to the New South Wales Rural Press Club. We also adopted a revised Constitution making minor amendments to facilitate the smoother running of the organisation.

You’ll notice this change will be rolled out gradually across coming months, as we update our website, communications and event materials with the new logo and branding. For a period of time, you may see both names used side-by-side as we make this transition thoughtfully and practically.

As we enter our 60th year, we’re incredibly excited about what lies ahead, a strong calendar of events, continued access to outstanding speakers and thought leaders, and a growing, engaged community spanning Sydney and regional New South Wales. We hope you can join us!
