We are very proud of Julia being featured in the Mediaworks ‘Women in business in the Manawatū’ campaign celebrating women owned businesses in our region. We think Julia and everything she does represents everything that is special about business in the Manawatu.

Two generations of the Stewart family. Jan and Julia, side by side, continuing a legacy that Dave and Jan have spent their lives building.

Julia is incredibly grateful for the roots they planted and the love they poured in. The greatest gift is getting to work alongside Jan and learning from her along the way.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the wonderful dads out there 🤝🏼

Dave Stewart is the fourth generation of the Stewart family to farm this land in our beautiful corner of the Manawatu. A farmer, a father and the foundation of everything we have built at Hiwinui Country Estate.

Cheers to you Dave, thank you for everything you do 🍻
