Longerenong College, Agricultural college in Victoria, Australia.
Longerenong College is an agricultural training institution operating a farm of around 1070 hectares near Horsham. The campus includes facilities for crop production, sheep breeding, and cattle raising where students gain hands-on experience.
The institution was established in 1889 by the Council of Agricultural Education as a training center. It experienced a closure from 1898 to 1905, though agricultural operations on the land continued during this period.
The college stands on land traditionally inhabited by the Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergaia, and Jupagulk peoples. This recognition shapes how the institution presents itself and operates today.
Visitors should be aware that the campus operates as a working farm and is best accessed during regular hours. The grounds are extensive and require time to explore, particularly if you want to see the different production areas.
The college integrates education with commercial farm operations at a substantial scale. Students learn in real conditions rather than simulations, working with actual crops and livestock that are sold in the market regularly.
