Mypolonga crowned 2022
Agricultural town of the year

The “Mypo Small But Mighty” tagline for Mypolonga checks out. With a population of just 475, the town punches well above its weight in agricultural diversity. What was once a predominantly citrus, stone fruit and milk producing region, Mypolonga is now a thriving and diverse agricultural food bowl growing a vast range of crops and breeding a wide range of livestock.

“During the AgTown of the Year judging, it was noted that Mypolonga really embodied the qualities that the judging panel were looking for.

From attracting young farmers to move back to the area, to the increased focus on diversified agriculture, and of course the fantastic agriculture curriculum at Mypolonga Primary School, which demonstrates the work that’s being done for encouraging the next generation of agricultural leaders.”
