Welcome to Avoca Forest, home of Vanrenen Farming

Avoca Forest is a family-owned farming operation in Victoria, Australia, with a history spanning several generations. Today, Peter and Jacob Vanrenen manage the farm together, continuing the family's long-standing connection to the land.

Avoca Forest focuses on broadacre cropping and hay production, growing a range of crops including oats, barley, vetch and canola. Our farming practices evolve with the seasons and changing conditions, with ongoing trials and experimentation helping us explore ways to improve crop performance and refine our approach to farming.

The Vanrenen family's connection to Avoca Forest dates back to the 1800s. Once primarily a Merino sheep farm, the business has evolved over time to focus on cropping and hay production, reflecting the changing needs of the farm and the agricultural industry.
