In 2021 we set the stage for a new future for Silver Fern Farms, and in 2022 we’re focusing on how we’re making that future happen – how we’re leading the way and moving forward together.

On a journey driven by all farmers across New Zealand, through our collective attitudes and actions, every day. One team, working for countless consumers around the world.

Join our great lineup of speakers to hear about the latest developments in our market-led sustainability work, how we’re investing in our business for a better tomorrow, and a company strategy and performance update. 

We also kick off by hosting the Silver Fern Farms Boning Competition, featuring our top boners from around the country, and on Day 2 we celebrate the Plate to Pasture Awards for 2022, plus a VIP guest on the couch.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get off farm, chew the fat with likeminded farmers and get inspired for the season ahead.

Silver Fern Farmer: Digital Platform Deep Dive

Our Silver Fern Farmer website and app team will walk through the process of app development, plus we'll reveal our plans for the digital future including a sneaky peak at some great new functionality.  This session is for anyone wanting to learn more about the digital tolls available in the Silver Fern Farmer platform, and it's your chance to give feedback, request features and get into the nitty-gritty with the experts.

Fifth Quarter

When we talk about red meat we tend to think of rib eye steaks and lamb racks, however there are huge streams of value to be captured in everything that’s not red meat – the ‘fifth quarter’. Our Fifth Quarter Sales Team will walk you through the many weird and wonderful products we supply to global customers, ranging from cultural delicacies to pharmaceutical goods. Learn about how we’re continually working to expand the value we capture from nose to tail, and get hands on with some of the less well known parts of the carcase.

Our Regenerative Partnership Pilot

Join Silver Fern Farms’ On-Farm Sustainability team, to talk through the new on-farm Regenerative Agriculture pilot in with the Savory Institute. Learn about how the Land to Market programme is being applied in a New Zealand context, what indicators are measured to verify regeneration, and discuss how that might scale across a variety of farming environments. Recommended for those interested in joining our regenerative programmes in future.

Innovative by Nature

Participate in this exciting hands-on workshop with our in-house innovation team, featuring experts in production, packaging, and food and nutrition. Learn how we develop and launch new products, all the way from butchery specifications to barbecues, and have the chance to build out your own bestselling idea!
