The Hurunui / Kaikōura / Marlborough earthquakes of 2016 left some hill country farms in the area with up to 40% of their land unusable. Buildings, waterways and access roads all threw the farms into disarray. The Post-Quake Farming Project has been a three year programme looking at land use of farms in the area and build in diverse revenue streams, making the farms and the area stronger and more resilient to future challenges.
Our keynote speaker: Dan Steele from Blue Duck Station.
The station’s core values are to conserve its endangered wildlife, increase the health of native bush and rivers, and preserve the history of the area, while educating visitors about endangered native species and local history.
Learn about their latest venture – The Chef’s Table that offers a stripped-back and unique fine dining experience under the stunning night’s sky located on the highest point of the station affectionately known as the Top of the World.
