Te Manawhenua Winner announced

November 4, 2011 in Uncategorized

Yes after a year of hard work by all the entrants and another hard decision by our judges the  Manawhenua Challenge 2010- 2011 winner was….

Ashton Tairua & Whanau

Ashton has a whanau-run farm where he grows peruperu and riwai.   The key to winning Te Manawhenua Challenge
Was  his whakaaro  “We have to take our children along with us on this hikoi. Otherwise we have achieved nothing, because when we pass on, there will be nothing remaining”.

He mihi nunui ki a ia me ana tama.

Taitokerau Organic Producers would like to thank all our sponsors:
