NZ Young Farmers
We're all about connecting young people in the food and fibre sector, providing support and development opportunities.
Membership benefits
Meet new people
Connect with the food and fibre industry and meet others in your local community. NZYF provides a connection to others in the industry and can open doors to multiple opportunities.
Learn something new
Exclusive scholarships and exchanges are available for members, plus access to a multitude of industry leaders who help to educate Clubs on anything from policy and employment law, to health and life insurance, to agricultural advice.
Have fun
Get off the farm or out of the office and try something new. Quiz nights, charity balls, community fundraisers and more – each Club hosts a number of events every year to connect members and local communities.
Endless opportunities
Develop your skills through training initiatives and governance opportunities. The NZ Young Farmers membership offers entry into the FMG Young Farmer of the Year as well as the opportunity to take up governance positions.
Find your local NZ Young Farmers Club
There are over 60 NZYF clubs around the country, from Maniototo to Auckland City, Whanganui to Timaru. Clubs are embedded in local communities and are a great place to meet others and have some fun.
“Young Farmers is a great way to get off the farm, have a yarn, get involved and the free feeds go down a treat – oh the people are pretty neat too!”
