🌱 Spring Activity Picking Up Across Hawke's Bay!

With warmer weather, longer days and pasture growth picking up, rural properties across Hawke's Bay are starting to look their best.

The spring rural property market is also beginning to ramp up, with some iconic Hawke's Bay properties already listed for sale and more farms coming to market, providing increasing opportunities for buyers.

With properties presenting well at this time of year, spring provides a good opportunity for vendors to showcase their farms and for prospective purchasers to assess what is available across the region.

For any rural property or forestry needs, get in touch with the team at Morice.

Even though Morry's Ute was out of action he's still getting his forest inspections done. Its fair to say Tiff was not happy in the state it was returned in. The Santa FE has got the tick of approval on off-roading from Morry.

Yesterday, some of the Morice team attended the Hawke’s Bay NZIV site visit to the Pākōwhai Flood Resilience Project, part of Hawke’s Bay Regional Council’s wider flood resilience programme.

The HBRC provided a great overview of the works underway, including the design and construction challenges involved and the important role the project will play in improving flood resilience for the surrounding community. It was particularly interesting to see a project of this scale up close, much of which is not readily visible from the road.

There was also some valuable discussion around what happens behind the scenes before construction can begin, particularly the Public Works Act process, landowner negotiations and the practical challenges of securing access across multiple properties.

A very worthwhile site visit and a good opportunity to better understand both the engineering and property aspects involved in delivering major infrastructure projects across Hawke’s Bay.

At Morice, rural valuation is about more than just the numbers.

Across Hawke’s Bay, every property is different from the contour and soils through to the farming system, improvements, forestry, carbon and the wider factors influencing value. Having a genuine understanding of the land and how it operates is an important part of providing sound, practical valuation advice.

Our team works throughout Hawke’s Bay and wider New Zealand across pastoral, forestry and horticulture properties, combining local knowledge with experience on the ground.

Understanding the land, not just the numbers.

The team in the office have been incredibly busy the last few months, hence the lack of social media posts. Here are our thoughts on some of the key markets in Hawkes Bay and how they are performing as of Mid-Winter 2026.

Congratulations to the Humphries family of Humphries Farming on being named the 2026 Pan Pac Forest Products Hawke’s Bay Farm Forester of the Year.

Last week Mark and Lochy attended the winners’ field day at Omakere, hosted by Mark, Hamish, Tom, and David Humphries, which showcased a well-integrated farming and forestry operation with a strong focus on sustainable land management, conservation, and long-term land stewardship.

The day provided valuable insight into on-farm sawmilling, carbon opportunities, forestry market conditions, wetland restoration, native planting, and the role of forestry within a wider farming business.

On Friday, Greg attended the Moeangiangi Station Open Day at Putorino.

A great opportunity to hear more about the Cadet Training and its plans for the first cadet intake in January 2027. The programme builds on the proven Waipaoa cadet model and is focused on developing work ready young farming professionals through practical, hands on training on a sheep and beef station environment.

It was great to see the new cadet facilities, hear the update on the programme, and learn more about the vision behind investing in the next generation of New Zealand’s agricultural leaders.

Thanks to the Moeangiangi team for hosting a great day

Congratulations to Charles and Mandy Yule on winning the 2026 Silver Fern Farms Hawke’s Bay Farmer of the Year, hosted at Whakamarumaru Station, owned by Rimanui Farms.

The field day showcased an impressive finishing system operating at scale, with strong focus on farm development across water, fencing, pasture and infrastructure. It also highlighted the importance of livestock performance, animal health management, and decision-making supported by data and benchmarking.

Most importantly, the day reflected the people behind the operation their capability, continuous improvement mindset, and commitment to farming excellence.

Morice is proud to sponsor the Hawke’s Bay Farmer of the Year and to support an event that celebrates excellence within the primary sector.

Congratulations again to Charles, Mandy, and the wider Rimanui Team

Yesterday the Morice team had the opportunity to visit Matangi Station, the 2026 East Coast Balance Farm Environmental Awards Supreme Winner.

Owned by Robert Haselsteiner and managed by Jamie and Nicky Gaddum, Matangi is a leading example of a fully integrated farming system taking their operation from breeding and finishing stock right through to processing and supplying premium beef direct to market.

Located in the Tukituki Valley just south of Havelock North, the scale and diversity of the operation really stood out. Alongside their core beef system, there is a strong focus on land stewardship, environmental management and building resilience through a diverse farming approach.

It was great to see the use of Halter technology in action, allowing for more precise stock management, better pasture utilization and animal performance. Combined with a well-structured breeding programme, the focus on consistency and quality is outstanding.

Jamie and Nicky's ability to combine innovation, environmental awareness, and a fully integrated pasture-to-plate model sets them apart. A well-deserved result at this year’s awards and a great day out seeing a progressive Hawke’s Bay farming business in action.
