Ed Fagan is director of Mulyan Farms, the largest salad production company in New South Wales. Mulyan Farms is a 1,600-hectare mixed farming enterprise in Cowra, central-west New South Wales and has belonged to the Fagan family since its establishment in 1886. The temperate Mediterranean climate makes this region well suited to a broad range of agricultural opportunities. The operation breeds and trades lambs and grows wheat, canola, maize, popcorn and oats. They also specialise in horticultural crops, including beetroot, asparagus, cucumbers and onions.
Ed Fagan took over the everyday operations of Mulyan from his father in 2002 and has since carried on the farm's legacy of mixed cropping. Ed studied Ag Commerce at university and then travelled and worked all over the globe before returning to Mulyan to begin his so-called 'life sentence'.
In 2015, Ed Fagan won DPI NSW Farmer of the Year and was commended for his soil management, innovation and leadership. He has also been a four-time finalist of the Australian Vegetable Grower of the Year. Ed's vision is to keep Mulyan Farms agile, resilient and profitable across all three of its divisions.
