Advocacy For Rural New Zealand
From the ground up.
Farming with Walt is where real farming meets real talk.
It’s a place for honest commentary, practical thinking, and observations from life on the land — shaped by day-to-day experience, not theory or ideology.
This isn’t about slogans or trends. It’s about what works, what doesn’t, and what matters to
What you’ll find here
Video & on-farm content
Day-to-day farming, seasonal work, livestock, decision-making, and life behind the scenes at Cavendish Farming.
Commentary from the ground
Thoughts on farming, food production, rural communities, and the pressures facing people who actually produce things.
Practical rural thinking
A focus on realism, responsibility, and outcomes not noise.
Provincial perspective
Views shaped by living and working outside the big cities, where decisions hit differently and consequences are real.
Why Farming with Walt exists
Farming is often talked about, but rarely talked with.
Farming with Walt exists to bridge that gap to show what farming looks like in practice, explain why decisions are made, and give context to rural life that’s often missing from public discussion.
It’s grounded in work, experience, and accountability.
How it fits with Cavendish Farming
Cavendish Farming is the operation.
Farming with Walt is the voice.
Both are built from the land, shaped by rural life, and focused on doing things properly with pride in the work and respect for the people involved.
Current Campaign: Closing the Animal Welfare Gap
New Zealand consumers deserve confidence in the food they buy and farmers deserve a fair playing field.
Closing the Animal Welfare Gap is about ensuring imported animal products meet the same welfare standards required of Kiwi farmers.
That means fair competition, clear labelling, and a food system built on integrity.
