East Coast Regional Supreme Winner Open Day – Matangi Station

28 Apr 2026

Jamie and Nicky Gaddum of Matangi Station

Matangi Station is a powerful example of farming through change. Following Cyclone Gabrielle, the business has reset to take greater control of its supply chain – from farming through to a boutique butchery in Hastings.

Across their 950ha operation, the team combines technology, data, and practical farming to lift productivity while protecting the environment – from Halter collars and drone monitoring to native planting, erosion control, and solar-powered water systems.

Come along to:

  • See systems in action
  • Gain practical insights
  • Hear firsthand how the business has adapted and diversified
