Farming

Posted by beakins 17 August 2009

Get out of the backpackers rut and use some imagination when it comes to places to stay! Farming is a great choice to see some of the hidden gems of NZ. You make great new friends, learn new skills and gain a sense of achievement.

Become a member of Farm Helpers in New Zealand or WOOFFing for lists of farmers who are willing to take on backpackers (both skilled and unskilled in farming) to stay at their farms for 3-4hrs work a day in return for a bed and food.
