Creating Goodness Together. 15-17 July 2025, Hamilton. It’s time to reconnect and find out what we can create, together. Creating goodness isn’t just about delicious red meat. It’s not only building value from our produce, caring for our people and communities. It’s more than looking after our wider environment and sharing nutritious red meat with consumers around the globe. Creating goodness is exactly what the world needs us to do, and we do it together, every day. At this year’s Silver Fern Farms Plate to Pasture Farmer Conference, we’re hosting a lineup of industry leaders and expert speakers, plus the Boning Competition National Finals, and of course the Plate to Pasture Supplier Awards.

The Farmers The World Needs. 18-20 July 2023, Christchurch. The world needs you. That’s right, we’re talking about you. Now, more than ever, the world needs more natural, nutritional, sustainable goodness. And every day, you work hard to create just that. You’re the farmers the world needs. That’s why this year’s Silver Fern Farms Farmer Conference is all about you.

Inspired By Nature. 4-6 July 2023, Christchurch. Our 2022 conference was held at the state of the art Te Pae Convention Centre in Christchurch, with over 550 attendees joining us across the conference. External presenters included Nadia Lim, Diana Rodgers, Rod Oram, Hon Tim Groser, David Rizzo (Savory Institute), Mark Kennedy (Kantar), plus a number of internal experts and industry viewpoints.

The future starts here. We’ve always been forward thinkers. Hard workers too. But the world is changing, the future’s coming at us fast, and we want to be the first ones there. Silver Fern Farms’ 2021 Plate to Pasture Farmer Conference TSB Arena Wellington, 7-9 July 2021
