An estimated 2,500 Kiwis visited 37 farms this Sunday, part of New Zealand’s second national open farm day initiative, Open Farms.
Farms of all types across the country participated. From sheep & beef stations in the Hawke’s Bay to Canterbury dairy farms, Auckland permaculture growers, mushroom makers and beekeepers to name a few.
“It was great to see farmers designing activities to help Kiwis touch, feel and taste their way back into food and farming” says Open Farms founder Daniel Eb. “We saw vege harvesting, bush tours, petting zoos, working dog demonstrations, conservation walks, soil experiments and lots of good old-school fun.”
