Real Farming. Real Food. Real Talk.
Farming with Walt opens the gate to life on the land with honest stories, practical insight, and clear advocacy for better farming and fair trade.
From the paddock to Parliament, we speak up for rural New Zealand and the farmers who do things right.
What We Stand For
Advocacy
We lead campaigns and submissions that promote high-welfare, sustainable, and productive farming — policies that reward good practice and strengthen rural communities.
Media
Field notes, videos, and straight-talking updates from the land. No spin — just the real work behind New Zealand food.
Community
We support local events, schools, and organisations that build pride and connection in rural New Zealand.
Current Campaign: Closing the Animal Welfare Gap
New Zealand consumers deserve confidence — and farmers deserve a fair playing field.
Our Closing the Animal Welfare Gap campaign calls for imported animal products to meet the same welfare standards required of Kiwi farmers.
That means fair competition, honest labelling, and a food system built on integrity.

Support New Zealand Hams This Christmas!
Make it a true Kiwi Christmas — buy hams made from 100% New Zealand pork, proudly Born & Raised in NZ.
Imported pork often comes from farms where pigs are kept in cages or stalls banned under New Zealand law. When you buy local, you’re backing Kiwi farmers, fair standards, and animal welfare done right.
✅ Look for the Born & Raised in NZ label
✅ Ask your butcher where their ham comes from
✅ Share and tag #BuyNZHams
🎅 Real Farmers. Real Standards. Real Ham.
