Clunes & District Young Farmers
The Clunes & District Young Farmers is a vibrant local group that brings together young people from the Clunes area who are interested in agriculture, community, and rural life. The group focuses on building farming skills, creating social connections, and supporting the wider community through events and volunteer work.
Their biggest annual event is the Clunes Quick Shear, a fast-paced and highly popular shearing competition that has grown into a major community celebration. Hosted at the Clunes Showgrounds, the Quick Shear showcases the skill and speed of shearers while also offering entertainment, kids’ activities, music, food, and fundraising auctions. Each year the event raises money for different charities or local causes, making it both a showcase of rural talent and a feel-good community day out.
