Quorum Sense is a network led by farmers. We support regional groups and locally organised field days and events for sharing knowledge and ideas about regenerative farming systems/practices, as well as successes, failures and learnings.

We are not aware of a group in Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, West Coast, Otago, and Chatham Islands. If there is interest, we are able to facilitate the initiation of a group by providing facilitation, training, assistance with activity costs and access to information.

Tasman and Marlborough are in the process of forming a group together. Waikato is also in the process of forming a group. If you are interested in being part of either of these new groups please complete the brief form below.

Can’t find a regional group near you in the list below?
