(FHiNZ) sells a booklet listing about 350 farms throughout New Zealand. These farmers are willing to offer free accommodation and food to visitors in exchange for 4-6 hours work each day.
For many farms you do not need farming experience. The work depends on the type of farm you stay on, the season and your abilities. Some of the work may be off the farm eg gardening, household help or minding children. There are many different types of farms: sheep, beef, dairy, pigs, goats, deer and horses. Some are large farms and some are small hobby farms.
Once you purchase a booklet, choose the farm/s you wish to stay at and contact the farm directly (by post, phone, fax, or email if available). Tell the hosts when you would like to stay, how long you wish to stay for and any experience you have.
We value your comments and experiences. Please write to us after your stay in New Zealand. |
