Rural Women New Zealand have named Jenny Bargh, Kiri Elworthy and Kath Elworthy, who run Tora Coastal Walk, as one of three initial winners of the RWNZ Enterprising Rural Women Award.
The Tora Coastal Walk partners also received $1500 in prize money and the opportunity to attend a BNZ Women in Agribusiness course.
In congratulating Jenny Bargh and Kiri and Kath Elworthy, Rural Women National President Margaret Chapman said the passion shown by the women for their business, their economic success and their inputs into the rural community were deciding factors in their win.
“The business has been running for 14 years, but the women’s enthusiasm is still strong. They live in a very special part of the country and love to share it with others. They make a special effort to bridge the urban-rural divide, talking to their guests about what’s happening on the farm and making it a total rural experience,” says Ms Chapman. “Attention to detail and personal touches are an important part of the Tora Coastal Walk and its success.”
Great for the Tora Tour trio and great for Wairarapa tourism.
