Catherine Ward was the recent recipient of the Supreme Award at the NZI Rural Women New Zealand Business Awards in Wellington earlier this year.
Acknowledged for the Pahi Coastal Walk she set up, circumnavigating her family farm on the Coromandel Peninsula, Ward explains how a significant lifestyle change prompted the desire for something new to work on.
The venture has brought unexpected joy and success, benefiting the local community by employing local women and enhancing the region's appeal.
