2024-25 locations are here. Absolutely stoked to see this initiative heading into its fourth season. Starting November.
Rural New Zealanders know how important it is to take a well-earned break from life on the
farm, and Surfing for Farmers is all about building a strong community around that idea. Now in
its eighth season, the program gives farmers a chance to step away from their daily routines and
enjoy some much-needed relaxation.
We all know dry spells and droughts can be long and relentless. Now is the time to seek help and plan for the next few months. There are a range of options available to support you practically, financially, mentally, and help you maintain the welfare of your livestock.
We know it’s incredibly tough right now with large parts of the country currently farming through drought conditions and feed shortages.
Several new ‘Checking-in’ events to support North Island rural communities impacted by last year’s adverse weather events have been announced for 2024.
Belinda shares her peronsal struggles with mental wellbeing, giving back via the Rural Support Trust, juggling the farm, kids, school holidays and finsihing off her 2021 Fonterra Dairy Women of the Year scholarship.
Just like physical health, we all need to actively look after our mental health. Mental Health Awareness week (18-24 September) is run each year by the Mental Health Foundation.
Rural Riders is back!! Come along with your family and friends to your local free Rural Riders event this summer!
Bring your mountain or e-bike and enjoy an hour or two on the track with a nice cold refreshment...
