Canterbury Grazing Group - Hawk Hills Discussion Day

Mark & Laura look forward to welcoming you to Hawk hills Farm near Kaikoura for an interactive and informative day of learning and sharing their experiences on a large hill country sheep & beef property.

Discussion topics for the day will include:

• Wintering on an all-pasture system

• Multispecies Winter cropping

• Farming without fertilizer

Field day participants are invited to bring along their own lunch and arrive at the woolshed on the farm at 9.30am for a cup of tea and a chit chat and the day will start at 10am.

After the initial discussion at the woolshed attendees will be guided to various stops around the farm to observe and discuss in further detail the regenerative practices that they are using.

Mark & Laura are passionate about creating opportunities on their farm for future generations, they want to protect and enhance the native bush and the environment whilst also meeting stock performance targets, maintaining a profitable business and ensuring the availability of adequate feed at key times. They are open about their struggles and improvements that they see are still needed and welcome sincere and honest interaction and feedback from those attending the field day, this is as much an opportunity for them to learn from others as it is for others to learn from them.

The field day will finish up around 2pm with a cuppa back at the woolshed and a chance for further discussion.

Hawkhills Farm is situated approx. 30mins from Kaikoura along the Inland Kaikoura Rd. Exact address will be provided prior to event.
