I always remember watching country calendar with both my parents and granny when I was a child and as soon as the music on the DVD came on I was taken right back to then! We also spent a couple of years on a farm milking dairy cows so farming is something I relate to as I have a little bit of experience from when I was younger. In saying that this series did wonders to prove just what I didn't know about our farming industries in New Zealand.

A farm in Kaikoura, Hawkes bay shearers, two horse riders that run a dairy farm in Rotorua, Eel farming in Westport and fishing in can'terbury. This TV series covers it all and includes dairy cows, sheep, dogs, horses, deer, fish, eels and a few others. Wow it really is just jam packed with information and presented in such an interesting and inspiring way.

I really enjoyed watching this not only for what I learnt about the industries and our beautiful country side but also for the people. It is people that make our world and people are so interesting - especially every day folk who are so down to earth and hard working like the people featured in these series. I was also really amazed at the diversity of farming down south. Being born and bred in Northland and having not travelled around much of our country at all I had no idea our farming extended so far down south. Definitely a DVD to hang on for when the kids are older and can teach them more about our country. For now though its on loan to my parents who missed all of the series this year. I love that this DVD can cater to all ages from young to old and in that way is also something all the family can watch together.

Well worth watching and something you can watch over and over again. Fully recommend to others and I am definitely going to keep a better eye out for the series on TV this year!
