Lifestyle Farmers Field Day on Again in May

Plans are well underway for the premier event for lifestyle farmers in the lower half of the north island.

The Lifestyle Farmers Field Day at Otaki will be held at the Otaki racecourse on Saturday 26 May between 9am and 4pm. This is the 16th year that the event has been staged and organizer Peter Burke says already he’s had applications for sites for the Field day.

The event attracts about 100 exhibitors and about 5000 people from the north island and Peter Burke says each year the event continues to grow.” Last year it was our best year for exhibitors and I am confident that we’ll get the same interest again in 2007. More people are seeking a lifestyle in the country and an event such as this enables them to look at, and compare new and competing products.

“We get a whole rage of products and services on show. For example there are a range of cattle and sheep breeds, including miniature cattle. There are tractors and ride-on mowers of all shapes and sizes, nurseries turn out in force as do those who construct farm buildings. There is also information available in the form of technical farm books and farm supply companies that provide goods and services to lifestyle farmers”, says Peter Burke.

Site prices for the Field Day start at $65 for a small half site and up to $230 for a large double site. Bookings can be made by contacting Peter Burke on 021 224 2184 or peterb[at]levin.pl.net. There is also information on the web site www.lifestylefarmers.co.nz

The Field Day is supported by the Greater Wellington Regional Council
