Join host Kimberley Furness for this live roving interview from the 45th Murrumbateman Field Days as she explores winemaking, sheep farming and community with guests Stephanie Helm from The Vintner's Daughter, Jennie Curtis from Roogulli Farm and Leonie Waldock from Vineyard 1207.

🍷 🐑 Steph shares her journey of blending tradition with innovation in winemaking, emphasising the importance of collaboration among women in agriculture. In pursuit of adopting more organic vineyard practices, Steph and her husband Ben are breeding a flock of Babydoll sheep that can graze through the vineyards year round.

🐑 Jennie introduces us to the charming Babydoll sheep that are perfect for small farms, vineyards and orchards. Jennie has transitioned from landscape architect to fostering cooperation within the sheep breeding community, and is now president of the Babydoll Sheep Breeders Australia. We discuss what it’s like to have a seat at the table.

🍷 Leonie Waldock from Vineyard 1207 reflects on her transition from education to winemaking, highlighting the challenges and joys of running a boutique winery. She talks about the importance of diversifying income streams in the wine industry.

Welcome to A Friend of Mine - a series of conversations with women in business from regional and rural Australia.

As the founder + editor of OAK Magazine [www.oakmagazine.com.au], I’ve come across so many incredible and inspiring women, and I’m thrilled that we can lift their stories from our pages and share with you, the listener.

We take a deep dive into their journey - all the highs and hurdles - and ask those questions that can help you to launch, grow and scale your own business.

I’m your host, Kimberley Furness, and I want to introduce you to A Friend of Mine.
