The Shooters and Greens duo have collaborated to tackle water mismanagement across the state, citing that inaction has left farming communities debilitated.
"The Greens don't agree with the Shooters Party on many things, but when it comes to the National Party's mismanagement in relation to water, we're 100 percent in step with each other," Ms Faehrmann said.
"Today we're sitting here, having a coffee together, sharing information and seeing how we can work together to get water out of the hands of the Nationals Party.
"It's like the fox in charge of the henhouse, they should not be in charge of water and you can see all throughout New South Wales what the result of that has been."
Ms Faehrmann recently launched an inquiry into various dam and mass water storage projects, which has been fast-tracked by government due to the coronavirus pandemic.
One notable project included within the inquiry is the Wyangla Dam wall raising, which has left many downstream landholders feeling incredibly concerned.
"For me it's about outcomes of how to restore our rivers to full health and how to distribute water equitably across the whole basin," Ms Faerhmann said.
"I think what's becoming clearer and clearer is that the National Party no longer represent the majority of the farming community.
"What they're clearly doing with water is allowing their big irrigator mates in the northern part of the basin access to too much water, at the expense of downstream communities and the river itself."
After her Griffith visit, Ms Faehrmann will be heading to Oxley to meet with landholders from the Lachlan Valley.
The environmental activist is determined to see change, and commended MP Helen Dalton on her work in the Riverina.
"Helen has already demonstrated that she's a champion for water in her electorate," Ms Faehrmann said.
"If we can work together for good outcomes in that way, I'm very happy to remove the politics.
"I think people are really bloody sick of politics, particularly in this electorate and right across New South Wales. They're sick of it and they just want outcomes, so that's why I'm here today."
