Part 1: Inside EcoFarm Aotearoa: Autumn Open Day 2026
Set in a hands-on, real-world environment, the conversation centres around what it actually looks like to transition from conventional thinking to a system that works with nature. As Ewan walks through the farm, he shares practical insights into soil health, pasture performance, and animal wellbeing. All grounded in observation, testing, and experience.
The open day creates space for discussion, questions, and shared learning, highlighting how powerful it can be when farmers step outside the textbook and start trusting what they see on their own land. From pasture diversity and mineral balance to animal behaviour and system resilience, this episode captures the importance of seeing the system as a whole.
More than just a farm walk, this is a mindset shift in motion, where curiosity replaces certainty, and real progress comes from understanding how everything connects.
We discuss:
• What regenerative farming looks like in a real on-farm setting
• How soil health translates into pasture and animal performance
• The importance of observation and asking better questions
• Why farm systems must be understood as a whole
• Lessons and insights shared during the open day
• How mindset shifts unlock real change on farm
