Sally and Mark Dent run a mixed farming business on the historic Cobbora Station, a 1150ha property with breeding, trade cattle and cropping just west of Dunedoo.  

Mark and Sally epitomise the true community spirit and are now promoting other local businesses and local produce focussing on sustainable production, healthy landscapes and strong communities. In this episode, Mark and Sal share how the recent drought led them to diversify their business and secure additional income by incorporating agritourism.

Mark and Sally sat down with Local Land Services mixed farming advisor, Callen Thompson over biscuits and a cuppa to share their experience integrating agritourism into their farming business.
