Hi,
I followed Bonniegirl in here after she posted the link on another forum, glad she did I have already copied some recipes.
I am 6th generation Kiwi, and live on a small farmlet of 3.5 acres. I have just sold this property in North Canterbury South Island NZ, and am moving to another farmlet of 2.5 acres in Oxford North Canterbury with my 3 boys, 1 cat, 4 chooks and 8 ewes.
This site looks to be just what I need to give me tips and ideas on setting myself on the track to semi self sufficiency.

Thanks for the welcome everyone...

Hey Jack wondered where you got to... this does look like a good site for what I need to learn....Did you get to the fair at Swannanoa this year??? we made $54,000 and $41,000 of that goes to the school, the rest pays the bills... biggest crowd we've had, not bad for a bunch of parents and at lot of support ay?...

Hi Kiwi, No, I am not Woo Poo. I live opposite Verkerk's Farm on Bradleys Road. It was pretty run down when we bought 5 years ago. I'm a retired chippy so I could see the potential. We went to the Fair. No wonder you did so well. It was the biggest I've seen. The last time we went, about 3 years ago, there were only a few stalls.
Congratulations. We also go to the Oxford market. We might see you there.
Robin

Hello and Welcome Kiwi, is everywhere in NZ named after an English city?

Where abouts in England is Woo Poo, Andy?

Got me buggered. We have a Woo Coo.

All the local streets and suburbs in our little Shire are all British. It was the British that settled/developed our countries... so i guess they named them after their homelands, farms etc. If it's not Aboriginal, then it tends to be British.
