That's a wrap on Fieldays 2026! ๐
We're all packed up and finally had a moment to sit down and reflect on one absolutely huge four days.
First things first - working alongside the Power Farming team has been an incredible privilege. Serving their customers and staff was a genuine pleasure, and they made us feel like part of the team from day one. We smashed out oodles of hot beverages, and yes - we even got to serve the Prime Minister a hot chocolate and listen to him speak. Not a bad moment to be part of!
Now for the thank yous, because none of this happens without some pretty amazing people.
To my wonderful partner Diane - you shut up shop to come and be by my side and we absolutely made a great team. I couldn't have done it without you.
To Ethan from Empire Coffee - thank you for supplying the goods and keeping Power Farming's clients and staff adequately caffeinated all week. You're a legend.
And to the team back at Loxies - you held the fort while I was away and did a bloody brilliant job of it. I wouldn't be where I am today without the incredible community we've built together.
Now for the stats - because the numbers don't lie:
โ 21kg of coffee
๐ฅ 200L of milk
๐ฟ 20L of alternative milk
๐ซ 9L of house-made chocolate syrup
๐งพ 33 sleeves of coffee cups
And a couple of records to celebrate - Shane from Power Farming Te Awamutu takes the tea crown with 25 cups over four days. A new record to track! Not to be outdone, Mike from Te Awamutu clocked up 15 Americanos over the four days - we see you Mike, and we'll be watching in 2027.
By day four, Liam had everyone's coffee order memorized. Some people train for marathons. This is his version.
What a week. Roll on Fieldays 2027! โ
