Welcome

Welcome to Farm Life NZ, this site will track our family’s transition from city to farm – from Auckland to a place we haven’t found quite yet…

Why

Pretty much – why not? A deeper answer would be how much longer can we keep working away to pay the ridiculous mortgage needed to live in New Zealand biggest (and most expensive) city…

Who

We are a family of four, made up of two poms from the UK and our two Kiwi kids.

Challenge

Well we don’t do things by half so this one isn’t any different! Our knowledge of farming is well zero… No family history, no career experience, nothing, nada, zip… The closest we’ve been is the three chucks we had, trips to petting farms, and a few Feildays visits over the years…
