NZ Young Farmers
Meet other Young Farmers who are all about getting amongst it, embracing rural life, and having a bit of fun.
You don't have to be a farmer to be a Young Farmer
There are more than 60 NZYF clubs spread across NZ and they're always up for a good time – from workshops and farm tours to barks-ups, balls and fundraisers, they've got something for everyone.
“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!”
