​Help us grow Regional Agritourism Networks across New Zealand.

---

Agritourism NZ is developing regional networks around the country as local interest, partnerships and Regional Leaders are established. If there is not yet an active network in your area, register your interest so we can keep you informed and connect you with other operators nearby or contact Marijke to set a time for a chat: [email protected]

About new Agritourism Regional Networks

​Each regional network is designed to remain practical and manageable. Members connect through a small number of valuable on-farm and online activities rather than a heavy meeting schedule.

​Who should register interest?

• Farmers, growers and landowners exploring agritourism.
• New and established agritourism operators such as rural accommodation, activity, food, farm tour and visitor experience businesses.
• People interested in helping to lead or host regional activities.

What members can expect

• Two in-person, on-farm network events each year once the local network is established.
• Two online Agritourism Power Hour sessions and access to the recordings.
• Access to the secure Agritourism NZ Discussion Forum.
• Connections with operators locally and nationally.
• Member news, shared learning and opportunities to collaborate.
• Additional visibility and selected partner benefits, depending on membership level.

​How a new network is established

​Become a Regional Leader

Regional Leaders are the local face of Agritourism NZ. They help connect members, support a small number of on-farm gatherings and share regional needs and ideas with the national team.

​Agritourism NZ manages the administration, website, registrations and member communications.
You do not need to have all the answers or manage the network on your own. The role is about making connections and helping create useful regional activity.
