At Hurunui Farms, we believe in the vital role that Kiwi farmers play in our economy, our environment, and our way of life. Their dedication and hard work don’t just feed our families, they sustain communities, protect our rural landscapes, and ensure the quality and diversity of food we enjoy.
Supporting local farmers is more than a transaction. It’s an investment in the future of our communities and a commitment to preserving traditional farming practices that have been the backbone of New Zealand for generations. When we choose locally sourced produce and goods, we help reduce our carbon footprint, strengthen regional economies, and promote food security.
Why it matters:
1. Promoting economic growth
Buying from local farmers keeps money circulating in our own communities, creating jobs and helping rural businesses thrive.
2. Protecting the environment
Many New Zealand farmers prioritise sustainability and environmental stewardship, from careful pasture management to reducing waste, helping to protect our natural resources and biodiversity.
3. Ensuring food security
Supporting local farmers maintains a strong and resilient food system. It reduces our reliance on imported products and ensures we have access to fresh, high-quality food grown right here.
4. Preserving rural communities
Small-scale and family-owned farms are at the heart of many Kiwi towns. Supporting them helps protect our cultural heritage and keeps our rural communities vibrant and connected.
At Hurunui Farms, we’re committed to sourcing and producing locally, keeping top-quality, export-grade meat here in New Zealand for Kiwis to enjoy. By working directly with farmers and producers in our own regions, we can support sustainable practices, strengthen local economies, and make sure our customers know exactly where their food comes from.
We invite you to join us in celebrating and supporting New Zealand farmers. Every choice you make, whether it’s buying from a farmers’ market, a local butcher, or directly from a producer, helps secure a more sustainable, resilient future for all of us.
Our range is available for home delivery nationwide, direct from our farm to your door, or in-store at Hurunui Farms Woodend facility. Together, we can make a real difference.
