Marcus Oldham College is Australia’s only independent agricultural and equine business management college and has a strong reputation both nationally and internationally.

Marcus Oldham is focussed on advancing agriculture through education and is proud to support the Farm Table. Dr Simon Livingstone, Principal of Marcus Oldham College, stated, “With agriculture becoming increasingly complex, it is important that farmers have a reliable online resource helping sift through the extensive library of digital content.”

“We congratulate Airlie on her entrepreneurial thinking and the hard work she has dedicated to developing the Farm Table. Marcus Oldham looks forward to seeing the Farm Table become an important community resource of further learning,” Dr Livingstone continued.

Airlie Trescowthick, founder of the Farm Table, is incredibly proud to have the support of Marcus Oldham College.

“Marcus Oldham are leaders in their field and having had many industry leaders that I look up to, as well as many peers and friends, having gone through the college, I understand it is a special place and a leader in agricultural education. Their emphasis on business management and experiential learning is cultivating the next generation of farm and business leaders and I am proud to be associated with the College.”

“I hope the Farm Table not only supports the learning journey of future and current Marcus students, but also for their alumni across Australia,” stated Airlie.
