Agriventure

and on your feet

cause Agriventure is all about getting out on the farm

and experiencing a life like yours

with people like you

but completely different.

Last night I had dinner with

Jude, Lesley, Pauline, Mandy, Karen, Mark

and some other musketeers

who are the Agriventure board in New Zealand.

They are very, very generously giving

Young Farmers a $7,000 scholarship for an

Agriventure experience of the winners choice.

Agriventure has been going since 1965

by going I mean placing young people

in on farm jobs with families

who involve them in their own families

and they become family.

All the while the young people get to work

and be paid and learn a different farming system.

Agriventure organises their visas and travel,

when they arrive in one of the many countries you could choose

you are welcomed and introduced to your co-trainees,

delivered to your new home farm

and supported and encouraged,

toured and engaged,

challenged and involved.

All those good things for eight months,

then you go home,

add your experience to your CV

and keep in contact with all the wonderful friends you've made.

How easy is that?

Countries you can visit

Canada, USA, Sweden,

Japan, Germany, Denmark, Australia,

Norway, UK and here.

I know a few people who have started their travels with Agriventure

and they have had the most amazing experiences.
