Around 250 farmer suppliers, shareholders and key partners gathered for the 2022 Annual Miraka Suppliers' Dinner in Taupō on 30 June.
Chief Executive, Karl Gradon, said the evening was about whakawhanaungatanga; about coming together.
"It was important to re-connect after COVID interruptions in past months, and to celebrate farmers who champion our Te Ara Miraka on-farm excellence programme and who value Kaitiakitanga, one of Miraka's core values."
Guest speaker, Ngahihi Bidios captivated the crowd with his keynote address.
