🌾 WHY WE DID THIS

When we created the Hastings + Hinterland Town & Country Ball, it wasn’t about a fancy night out. It was about doing something real for the people who hold this region together, our farmers, growers, and agricultural families.

Over the past few years, our community has been through drought, fires, floods, and another flood again in May 2025. And still… our farmers show up. They milk the cows, fix the fences, replant the paddocks and keep feeding our towns, even when their own paddocks are underwater, and their own bills keep piling up.

We wanted to create more than an event.
We wanted to create a way to give back.

So, thanks to local businesses, sponsors, volunteers and everyone who bought a ticket, donated, or raised a paddle in the auction, we raised over $100,000, with $85,000 now being returned directly to our Primary Producers through grants.

This is why we did it:
✔ To support the people who support us every single day.
✔ To remind our farmers they’re not alone.
✔ To turn generosity into real, practical help.

Because community isn’t just where we live, it's our home. Our family, our children's school mates, our businesses and our employees job stability. Community is home.

We have been busy behind the scenes finalising our grant documentation to open this week, but taking a moment to reflect on this video from the amazing Lachy @ WHITE STAG Media reminds us just how much our community truly got behind us. 💛

What an incredible show of support, generosity and spirit from everyone who made the Hastings + Hinterland Town & Country Ball such an incredible success.

This event wasn’t just one night, it was a reminder of what can be achieved when our community comes together, and the impact that continues long after the lights go out. 🌾✨

When I look back through the photos, I see the atmosphere that wrapped around the whole night, and I know that a big part of that is because of Tarn.

Tarn had a loose vision and brief to work with, a few scattered thoughts and a lot of “you do you, you do it so well” comments, and somehow she took that and helped turn it into something so much more.

Tarn - you said yes, you showed up, and you created a space that felt warm, beautiful, and exactly what the Ball needed.

I’m so grateful for your heart, passion and the friendship we’ve struck up along the way, not to mention the vision you helped bring to life.

Until next year? 😉 🫶

A heartfelt thank you to Soul Sister Grazing and Tunstead Oysters for bringing such incredible food to our event. 🌸🦪✨

Getting to know Tunny and Beck through this Fundraiser has been something really special. Tunny, as a Primary Producer, understands better than most why these events matter, and having both of you stand beside us in support means the
world. We’re so grateful for your generosity and kindness.
