Despite the demands of calving, lambing, and docking, the Tasman Valley Young Farmers Club has been a hive of activity in recent months.
Social events like the Claybird shoot at Moutere, which evolved into a friendly competition, and a lively potluck dinner have provided members with opportunities to unwind and connect beyond agricultural duties.
In November, the club held a successful car wash fundraiser at PGG in Richmond to support farmers affected by recent flooding in Southland. They also participated in the Nelson A & P Show on Saturday, November 23rd. Club chair Amelia Marsden remarked, “It was great to connect with other young farmers, growers, and ag workers in the area and let them know we’re here if they’d like to join us.”
Amelia adds that she initially joined the Young Farmers Club to ‘connect with other people in the region’ after moving to Tasman. ‘It’s good to have social time with like-minded people’.
