GROUNDED Live - 2025: Kylie Woodham - Building a Farm Business from Zero & Stacking Enterprises

In this episode of GROUNDED Live, we continue sharing the unedited presentations recorded at GROUNDED Festival 2025 on farm in Bridgetown, Western Australia.

This session features Kylie Woodham, founder of Magnus Farm in County Tipperary — a pioneering regenerative farm supplying produce across Ireland. Since establishing the farm in 2017, Kylie has grown Magnus Farm into a celebrated producer whose eggs and pork have appeared on the menus of Michelin-starred restaurants, five-star hotels and specialty grocers.

Kylie is also the author of Soil Sister: Farming for Our Future, a 2022 Break EU Fellow, and the 2020 EU Horizon Teagasc Newbie Farmer of the Year. Her work blends deep respect for ecology with practical, scalable approaches to farming, and she brings a global perspective on what regenerative agriculture can look like in practice.

Recorded live at Grounded, her talk offers hard-won insights, humour, honesty and inspiration for anyone who cares about learning from the land and building better food systems.

Settle in and enjoy another powerful session from GROUNDED Live.

GROUNDED Festival is a cross between a food festival, a farming conference and a field day. It combines science and technology with ancient wisdom, provides a respectful place for lively discussion, an audience as interesting as the speakers and an excellent menu of local food, drinks and music, all on a beautiful, regeneratively-managed farm.

GROUNDED is also Australia's only annual, roaming food and farming festival, held in a different farm location every year, so each festival is a unique, unmissable event celebrating local expertise and culture with an inspiring line up of speakers.

In 2026, with the support of the local Upper Barwon and Central Otway Landcare Networks, following successful festivals in Tasmania and Western Australia, GROUNDED FESTIVAL will be held at leading regenerative farm, Yan Yan Gurt West, in the Victorian Otway Ranges, two hours from Melbourne in an area renowned for regenerative agroforestry, tourism, local hospitality and great food and wine.
