Well-known for its locally grown fruits and vegetables, and award winning wine, beer and cheese, Hastings owes its productivity to the 500,000 hectares of fertile soils on the Heretaunga Plains and a combination of long sunshine hours and warm climate. Surrounding mountain ranges shelter Hastings from prevailing westerly winds, providing a Mediterranean climate with warmth and moderate rainfall, providing ideal conditions for farming and horticulture.
