Stone & Wood Brewing is set to sponsor the upcoming Grounded Australia festival, an event designed to unite sustainable farming and brewing by showcasing best practices in agriculture and local food systems. The festival, titled Farming Better, will take place on December 4-5 at Fat Pig Farm in Tasmania’s Huon Valley, offering attendees a chance to explore the intersections of sustainable agriculture and brewing.
The two-day festival will feature a variety of activities, including food stalls, educational sessions, live music, and access to Stone & Wood’s diverse range of beers. On-site demonstrations and conferences will also offer attendees a deeper understanding of sustainable farming and local food production. The event aims to foster awareness and education around cultivating the land responsibly and supporting sustainable farming practices.
Jahdon Quinlan, Sustainability Manager at Stone & Wood, emphasized the importance of collaboration across industries to support environmental stewardship. “From paddock to pint, we all have a role to play in caring for our land,” Quinlan said. “Just as brewers are dedicated to their craft and the environment, farmers are equally committed to soil health and sustainable cultivation methods.”
The partnership with Grounded 2024 aligns with Stone & Wood’s ongoing efforts to engage farmers, consumers, and suppliers in promoting “better farming” principles. The company has previously worked with the non-profit organization Sustainable Table to launch the Good Grain Impact Fund, raising $60,000 to support regenerative grain projects within the brewing industry. Additionally, Stone & Wood recently introduced its Northern Rivers Beer, made with at least 70 percent malt and 100 percent hops that are Certified Sustainable.
By supporting events like Grounded Australia, Stone & Wood continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility within both the brewing and agricultural sectors.
