We are privileged to be part of the Poukawa3030 catchment group - come along on July 6 to find out more about the group and what is is trying to achieve. Make the most of a unique opportunity to explore the surrounds of Lake Poukawa and get a free breakfast!

What are Catchment Groups?

A catchment group is a group of people, who identify with a geographical area, usually based on a river or lake catchment, working together to take actions towards a common vision. Catchment groups form to take actions to achieve a long-term vision based on a healthy environment (from water quality to biodiversity goals) and a thriving community. Catchment Groups are gaining traction around New Zealand as a way to bring communities together and make meaningful change.


What is Poukawa3030?

Poukawa3030 is a fledgling Catchment Group established by a group of passionate locals with the view of establishing a community led vision for Poukawa for the next 1000 years, focusing on environmental and community enhancement initiatives.



Join us on the 6th July to find out more! https://poukawa3030matariki2024.eventbrite.com



And please share with friends and whanau who may be interested in coming along .

What a difference 80mm of rain makes. After a particularly dry autumn and start to winter here in Hawke's Bay, rain last week has got the green back into the grass. Still not much length to it, but at least it looks like it's growing!

The greens and golds of a Hawke's Bay autumn. Looking out over some of the cropping flats here at Brownrigg Agriculture, and back into the hill country.

As the sun gets ready to set in Hawke's Bay, we reflect on the one year anniversary of Cyclone Gabrielle.

While people and our communities carry the heaviest load in the recovery, one of the most visible impacts at Brownrigg Agriculture was the flooding of squash and onion crops close to harvest. This year we have been able to bring most of our cropping areas back into production. For many farmers and orchardists in the region, the effects linger on.

Nature forgives but does not forget - these events shape our environment. Our environment shapes the way we farm.

No wonder our crew love to farm! A brisk start with a bit of fog, but is there a better way to start the day?
