Get moving in the right direction
Speak to your rural manager to get yourself added to our database and we'll provide you with regular updates on farm ownership opportunities across New Zealand's agricultural sectors. Recent opportunities have led to a range of farm ownership structures including:
"I didn't want to put the farm on the market and just sell up and leave. It was my grandfather's farm and had been in the family for almost 100 years and I wasn't ready to see it go but I didn't want to do another winter. Brent Irving introduced us to the Hellewell's and in less than two months we had made a lease to buy deal. It's getting harder and harder for young people to get into farming and this gives them a chance."
Jim and Karen RoughanLawrence, New Zealand
"It means any investment we put into the farm doesn't increase the farm sale price we buy it at because of the work we have done. It also means we can farm the land as if it's our own. "
Murray and Julie HellewellLawrence, New Zealand
