About Wilga Farming:

• Wilga Farming Australia is an operating platform of Gunn Agri Partners, a leading manager of farming operations for Australian and international institutional investors.
• Wilga Farming is named after the native tree species Geijera parviflora, commonly known as the Wilga tree, an inland Australian species known for its resilience in drought and its value as livestock fodder. Historically, while fertile Brigalow and Belah landscapes were quickly brought into production, land populated by the hardy Wilga was often overlooked. These legacy shapes our mission: to unlock the agricultural potential of underutilised regions and expand Australia’s productive farmland.
• At Wilga Farming, we offer opportunities for growth in a purpose-driven organisation that values its people, prioritises safety, and leads with a vision for sustainable agricultural advancement. Our track record of success reflects the strength of our values and we’re growing because of them.
