Hands On Fun! - Angie shared not only her story but her love for all of the animals. We enjoyed hanging with the sheep, feeding the very friendly and easy going herd, admiring her beautiful chickens, checking in with her two horses, and oogling the hairy large cows. All in all it was a wonderful afternoon and her hand made caps (woven, naturally dyed and knitted) are gorgeous. Thank you Angie for your kindness and interesting stories. A real treat during our 10 day visit to NZ Gail and Michael

Fun with animals - We had a lot of fun and the kids especially enjoyed all the animals. The highlight though was holding baby sheep and the kids got to bottle feed them! It was very informative and we all have a great wool hat now to remember it by! Thanks for a great tour!

Fun and insight in NZ farm life. - A fun, interactive and informative experience with Angie. My partner and I had a great time interacting with, feeding and learning so much about farm life in NZ. As we want to one day develop our own homestead and become self-sufficient we went in with a ton of questions that Angie answered with supportive and knowledgeable responses that really helped us develop what our pathways in NZ could look like. We also had such a really fun time petting and feeding so many of the farm animals that reminded us of the time we had in the old rural lives we came from. Learning about the process of wool production and processing as well as some of its history was also really fascinating and fun. We've also made use of our wool hats many times already and absolutely love them. This was a really fun and grounding experience that we were so grateful to have had.
