Have you ever wondered about agritourism options for your land?

Have you ever wondered about agritourism options for your land?
Destination Wairarapa is partnering with Inside New Zealand & Business Wairarapa to bring our primary enterprises the first workshop of a series exploring agritourism opportunities with some experts in the field. The first event is Thu 19th Oct 2023, 10:00 am - 2:15 pm at the Carterton Events Centre.
While agritourism is often used as a strategy for increasing income, many agritourism operators are as interested in sharing their passion for food production, land stewardship, rural lifestyles and authentic agricultural experiences, as they are in generating income.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
