Farmers Supported

After the catastrophe of Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023, RRT hosted five Farmers Community Connect (FCC) events in the Hawke’s Bay region, and one in the Kaipara & Rodney region. These events were aimed at assisting farmers with fencing repairs; posts, battens, wire, permanent strainers, staples, and crimps made up the package of materials that each registered farmer received.
In early 2025, RRT hosted an FCC event in Hāwera, donating two 1-tonne bags of stock feed to drought-affected farmers to support their recovery efforts.
Also available at the events were local support services including mental wellbeing, rural financial counselling, and veterinary support. Farmers enjoyed RRT’s signature burger and barista coffee while connecting with their local community.
