Tripod Farmers Group Named Horticulture Farmer of the Year

14 February 2026

We are thrilled to announce that Tripod Farmers has been recognised at the prestigious Weekly Times Coles Farmer of the Year Awards, taking home the title for Horticulture Farmer of the Year.

The awards, which celebrate the "cream of the crop" in the Australian agricultural industry, highlight excellence in innovation, sustainability, and quality. For the Tripod team, this win validates our commitment to evolving our farming practices while staying true to our roots.

Reflecting on the achievement, Angela Candeloro, Tripod's Joint Managing Director shared:

"We are incredibly grateful and privileged to have been nominated for such a prestigious award. Our journey started when our parents immigrated from Italy with just a single suitcase and a pocket full of lettuce seeds. They watered by hand and made every row straight with a keen eye. Today, we share that same passion, using modern automation to bring every bag and punnet from our farm to your home."

We would like to extend our congratulations to all the other finalists and winners who make the Victorian farming industry so vibrant. We also want to thank our incredible staff and partners—this award belongs to all of you.
