Any Lifestylers out there?
We're seriously thinking of getting ourselves a lifestyle block and trying some small scale farming.
Anyone else tried this?
If so we'd be very interested in your experiences.

Hi,
We aren't NZ lifestylers yet, but thats our longer term aim (short term - get there!!!) after making do with what little bit of garden we have at the moment . Have a look at this site though, its great:
www.lifestyleblock.co.nz
also this is a UK based site but with international members
www.acountrylife.com
They're both full of useful info, even for dreamers like me!

Actually, if you've got enough money to throw at it, here's the website of the Lavender Farm that's for sale - it's near Akaroa....
http://www.lavender-nz.com/
I think the agent was First National - asking price = c. $750k. It's "under offer" but are accepting others as 2 mth conditional period on the current offer.

So Moorf, why exactly do you prefer the cucumber farm to the lavender one???

Lost in Translation:
- What is a 'Lifestyler'? Is that like a 'hobby-farm'?
- What other cuke is there besides the veggie type? (I think I might know that one already...)
Please pardon my ignorance.
Thanks!

Pearce. You may just regret asking about the cucumber thing my friend. It is a very long story.
As far as I can figure, yes, a Lifestyler would be about the same sort of set up as a hobby farm.
The alternative to the veggie variety is the Sea cucumber btw. But you probably guessed that already.
