Happening today whānau head on down to the Ōpōtiki Pavilion 🚜
You can't pour from an empty cup... but we'll happily fill your plate.
Let's be honest... there's always another fence to fix, another calf to feed, another email to answer or another job waiting.
But for a couple of hours, we're giving you permission to leave the farm. Wear your gumboots…. because if it weren't for gumboots, where would ya be?
We'll shout you a free brunch while you catch up with good people.
No speeches.
No sales pitches.
No pressure.
Just great food, great company and a chance to have a yarn with others who understand rural life.
Whether you're farming, growing, contracting, working in the rural sector, we'd love to see you there.
Bring your partner, your neighbour, your farm team... or that mate who's been saying, "Yeah, I'm good," but probably needs to get off the farm for a couple of hours.
Because sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is simply turn up.
Tag someone who should come along! 👇
Huge Thank-you to our amazing list of sponsors for 2026
