Agriculture open day

Farmers are being urged to take part in New Zealand’s next national open farm day, which is set for Sunday, March 10.

Organisers say hosting an event is an opportunity to tell their farming stories and connect with urban Kiwis. “All farmers are welcome to join us – large or small, rural or urban, agriculture, permaculture and everything in between,” a spokesperson says.

“We’ll support them with the guidelines, tips and tech to tell their story.”

They say providing an opportunity to have a genuine on-farm experience and showing people where their food comes from is hugely important.

It also gives farmers an opportunity to promote their businesses, products or job opportunities.
