The launch of the second Agritourism NZ Regional Network was held on a hot (30-degree) day at Midhurst Farm in West Eyreton near Christchurch. A group of 34, made up of mainly agritourism operators and also economic development agencies and supporting services enjoyed getting to know each other, listening to Shaun Monk's story (the Regional Leader for this region) and enjoying a delicious lunch prepared by Jane Gilchrist from Midhurst Farm.
Marijke spoke about how the Regional Networks came about and what it entails. Agritourism NZ Advisory Board Members, Martin Hawes and Kirstie McMillan, who both live in Canterbury, were there too. Exciting times ahead for this great group! If you're an Canterbury or Marlborough agritourism operator, CLICK here to join this network! |
The purpose of the regional networks is to connect you - existing and new agritourism operators - with a supportive agritourism community locally and nationally, and to collaborate on learning, advocacy, joint marketing, and shared opportunities.
No overload, just two in-person on-farm meetings a year and two online 'Power Hour' sessions + member benefits and be part of the online (secure) Agritourism Discussion Forum. |
