Our Values
Respect
We respect each other's unique perspectives, skills, and contributions. Respect is practised at every level, from the interactions between members to the way they engage with the wider community.
One Team
One Team signifies the unity and collaborative spirit within NZ Young Farmers. We encourage members to support and uplift one another, share knowledge and resources, and collaborate.
Proud
We have a deep sense of pride in our involvement with the NZYF organisation. We celebrate the achievements of our members, recognising their hard work, dedication, and resilience.
Passionate
Passion is a driving force within NZYF. It represents the enthusiasm, dedication, and love for farming and the food & fibre sector. NZYF encourages and nurtures this passion, providing opportunities for members to explore their interests, expand their knowledge, and develop their skills.
Our Priorities

Support and grow a thriving club network that can deliver amazing value to its members
How will we achieve this?
We’ll keep improving how our membership works by adding new options and pricing. This will help National Office continue supporting clubs financially and ensure NZYF clubs stay strong and successful across New Zealand.
FMG Young Farmer of the Year contest series is drawing and showcasing the best NZ Young Farmers
How will we achieve this?
We want to keep the Contest as one of the best rural competitions by having the volunteers, staff, and sponsors we need to run great events that bring in top Young Farmers.

Build & maintain great partnerships that support our purpose and vision
How will we achieve this?
We want to create strong partnerships that benefit everyone. These partnerships will help us reach our membership and contest goals, give members chances to grow and develop, and ensure National Office can keep supporting clubs financially.
