Event description
Central Hawke's Bay Agritourism – Exploring our opportunities networking evening.
The event follows last year’s successful agritourism workshop, exploring our opportunities, and is for anyone interested in agritourism within Central Hawke's Bay. This is a great opportunity to connect with like-minded people and become part of the local agritourism community.
We have some fabulous guest speakers who will discuss what makes a great product, how you can develop your agritourism offering and how to tell your story.

Abbe Hoare – Owner and Head Grower at Mangamaire Sunflower Field
Abbe took a leap of faith on an idea that came out of nowhere and just wouldn’t go away. The idea involved planting Sunflowers in a roadside field on their farm, in hopes it would slow down speeding traffic and give the passing motorists some joy in their day. With three seasons under their belt, and over 6,000 visitors to their sunflowers within the 28-day flowering window, Abbe and her partner Emile, have made an amazing success of the idea that just wouldn’t go away ! Abbe’s story is as heartwarming as her sunflowers, you will enjoy hearing how she has turned challenges into opportunities and continually developed their products and business offerings. https://www.sunflowerfield.co.nz
