Sprawling farms, green landscapes, hordes of sheep and cattle grazing through endless pastures, fiery ostrich wandering, this was what I witnessed when I traveled interiors of New Zealand.
Instinctively, I decided to experience farm life of New Zealand. When I enquired about the possibility of visiting and being a part of farm life, I was delighted to know that New Zealanders had already gauged the business potential in organizing farm tours. So, there I was, in front of my new found friends, you got that right.
I walked alongside ostriches who seemed shy to mingle with me, unlike other cattle who were friends with me, instantly. After caressing and conversing to my lovely friends. I went inside and watched sheep shearing, a specialised skill done manually. Also, got to know the essentials of high quality wool and how to recognize the different textures of wool.
New Zealand has maintained high standards in farming which have led to impressive growth and profits in farming ventures. It is said, in New Zealand farming happens to be more profitable than manufacturing. The fact is that Innovation and technology have played important role in keeping New Zealand’s farm produce competitive. Right from high quality merino wool to refrigerated dairy and meat products, major part of New Zealand’s farm produce is exported.
By the time my woollen session ended, it was afternoon and also cattle feeding time. I was offered the opportunity to feed cattle which I grabbed happily.
That was a moment of joy for me. I relished feeding cattle and they too seemed like enjoying my company. That one day at New Zealand farm, I will always cherish.
New Zealand looks lovely! These lil babies are so fluffy and cute.
Yes adorable.

Yes Preet New Zealand is exceptionally beautiful.
This looks like a lot of fun. I would love to visit New Zealand but I’m not sure I could handle the 30-hour flight haha.
That is true Ellie, long flights are tiring, indeed.
That looks like so much fun though I have heard that Ostriches are mean little buggers! I can honestly say I have ever seen Sheep Shearing in person so that would be fun for me to experience!
You must experience Eric.
Aww I didn’t know you could do farm tours. So cool you got to make friends with all the fluffy animals.
Adorable fluffy friends really.
What a lovely thing to do, I’ve always been around farms so this would totally appeal to me. I’ve never been up close to an ostrich, cool you got to feed the cattle too.
That was such an emotional feel.
What an amazing experience. I’d love to visit New Zealand. And the animals are too cute!
Adorable absolutely.
What a cool thing to do ! My grandparents used to have a farm and I was spending my holidays there each year so for me it would be like going back to my childhood (minus the alpacas – btw your main picture is everything!). I think it would be especially interesting for families with kids, just to show them the real life. I’m glad you enjoyed your day!
Absolutely fun and relaxing trip for families.
Wow so much fun! I also want to add these experiences when in New Zealand. I hope the day will come soon!
Wish you best Pooja.
This is awesome! New Zealand is definitely on my bucket travel list!
Wow, sheep shearing and farming are more profitable than manufacturing in NZ. Heard that for the first time. Good article, good information. Thanks.
Thank you.
Aww, that is so cute! I love animals and farm and nature, and really want to visit that one and hang out with all animals.
You will love your visit.
My mum and dad will be going to New Zealand next year and this is something I can show them and hopefully they get to try! So cool~ Love it!
Thanks Tiffany.

Wow what an experience of a lifetime you have here. I would love to visit New Zealand one day and experience the same adventure. I have seen tons of videos and series about how beautiful this country is, How does it feel to see the cattle doing sheep sheering? aw that’s kinda creepy I guess.
