Type of Work Sought: I am looking for work on a dairy farm to learn how to take care, feed and milk cows.
Relevant Experience:
I did 2 weeks of ‘wwoofing’ on a farm and really liked it, and I would like to extend my farming experience. (I don’t have a car so accommodation close to the farm would be nice.) I still need to learn but I am motivated and not afraid of working hard, so if you need or know someone who might need some full-time farm assistant anywhere in the north island, you can send me a message.

NZ Residency Status: Citizen
Type of Work Sought: Junior Shepherd
I am 18 years old, I was brought up on an organic life-style block and was home-schooled.
For the last 2 years I have been working on a conventional beef and sheep farm – 1 year mostly working as au pair and 1 year mostly working as farm-hand. My work included helping to train horses, milking the house cow and general farm work.
I am enrolled in a primary ITO course. I have a fully broken-in heading dog and a young huntaway coming on. I am very keen to learn.

NZ Residency Status: Work Visa
Type of Work Sought:
I will be traveling to New Zealand from October 2023 to March or April 2024 to do an internship abroad.
I am looking for a farm that specializes in arable farming and cultivates its fields in Notill. I also would work with animals, but my main interest is in arable farming.
Relevant Experience:
I grew up on a dairy and arable farm in northern Germany, where I still work and support my parents. After graduating from high school, I worked on another farm for a year and am now in my sixth semester studying agricultural economics. After I graduate, I will join my parents’ farm and take it over.
I have a lot of practical experience in the areas of dairy cattle, arable farming and agricultural technology. For example, I can independently adjust and operate a seeder, a combine or various other machines. In addition, I can repair a lot of things myself and I’m generally good with my hands. I have further experience in handling dairy cattle and milking technology.
Since I started early to take a lot of responsibility on the home farm, I am reliable and hardworking and like to work with nature and machines.
I am especially interested in regenerative agriculture and notill. I would very much like to gain more experience in this direction.
