The Hawke’s Bay Agricultural & Pastoral Society

Championing our region’s farmers, growers and producers.

Welcome. The Hawke’s Bay A&P Society was formed to support our region’s primary industry sector.

Founded in 1858, we’re a charitable, not for profit society that aims to bring town and country together.

Promoting our primary sector to a wide audience.
By running events, recognising our heritage, fostering education and celebrating excellence, we help Hawke’s Bay’s agricultural and pastoral industries to grow, while continuing the legacy of our foundation members. Supporting innovative thinking in the rural sector, our society contributes to positive economic development across the region.
