Join us at Lake Hāwea Station for Future Whenua Summit 2025.
FWS2025
FUTURE WHENUA March 21-23
Haere Mai, to the next edition of the Future Whenua Summit. FWS'25, will be held at the stunning Lake Hāwea Station, near Wānaka.
For our fifth installment, we remain committed to merging diverse perspectives and fostering collaborations that push the boundaries of traditional farming. Expect to engage with solution-makers, local leaders, celebrate land-shaping innovators, get the chance to workshop big ideas, enjoy high-quality kai, and, of course, have a great time with fellow earth and farming enthusiasts.
As we continue our journey to highlight exemplary land stewardship, Lake Hāwea Station (LHS) emerges as an ideal location that truly resonates with the Future Whenua ethos. Known for its quality products, LHS are active in holistic grazing management, diverse pastures, winter crops, and the planting of thousands of native trees along waterways, this venue embodies our commitment to quality agricultural practices, and environmental consideration.
Please note it is essential to register your attendance (RSVP Button Below) as spaces are limited.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the event. We’re just as excited as you are to see how this year’s summit unfolds in such a vibrant and dynamic setting.
