About Us

Hands on, farm experiences

Kiwi Valley Farm Park was originally created back in 2001. Nestled in the beautiful surroundings of Henderson Valley, Kiwi Valley is a lifestyle farm that was created with the intention of providing a hands on, real-life experience to children and adults living in the city.

Interactive and educated on our
New Zealand farm animals

Having a farm situated so conveniently within Auckland City, created an opportunity to offer an experience to all. Many children have often only seen or owned one of your typical household animals. Kiwi Valley Farm Park provides a safe, friendly and fun environment for all people to enjoy the fresh country air with our wonderful farm animals!

Larissa

Receptionist

From reptiles to fish, our scaly friends are my bread and butter!🦎

Raised in a home with too many fish to count, I started my animal journey from a young age. Blue-tongued skinks really caught my fancy after I met one during my schooling years. Fascinated by the cold-blooded creatures, I ended up adopting one myself!

I joined Kiwi Valley as a volunteer in 2020, before slowly weaseling my way into reception.

You may recognise my name if you’ve ever sent us an enquiry, or my smiling face greeting you as you enter the farm!

Amy

Stable Manager

Hiya!

I am Farmer Amy.

From a young age I have always loved animals, especially horses.

I started horse riding in 2014 and I now have my own horse Heidi, who is with me in my picture!

In my spare time you will definitely find us out riding in Riverhead forest.

I still remember all the visits I had to Kiwi Valley when I was a kid and I absolutely love giving you all the same amazing experience I had!

I started volunteering at Kiwi Valley Farm Park also in 2014 and I am lucky enough to now be a part of the full time team!

My role here is as Stable Manager, where I currently oversee our team of 10 equine, ranging from our smallest 9hh pony, to our biggest 17hh Clydesdale and of course our Donkeys too!

Lottie

Farm and Social Media Coordinator

Hi farm lovers!

My name is Lottie, and you’ll find me down on the farm from Wednesday to Saturday!

You might spot me cruising in our tractor, showing visitors around on a guided tour, or behind the scenes keeping our social media full of all things Kiwi Valley!

I love sharing the farm with our visitors and animals alike. Whether that’s showing you around or capturing some of our favourite farm moments to share online.

So, keep an eye out for me next time you’re visiting! I’ll either be behind the wheel, leading the way, or somewhere with a camera in hand! 🚜📸

See you down on the farm!

Hi guys, I'm Farmer Laura! 

A born 'n' raised Westie and an animal lover since way back.

Look forward to seeing your faces on the farm soon xx

Hey, I’m Jojo!

I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and being outdoors and surrounded by them is my happy place. I grew up a proud Westie, spending most of my time around horses - including my own girl, Bella.

Here at Kiwi Valley, you’ll usually find me down at the stables working alongside Farmer Amy and helping care for our amazing team of equines. I’m all about making people feel confident around horses and love sharing what I know.

So come say hi when you’re visiting - I’m always keen for a chat, and you might even enjoy a ride on one of our beautiful horses!

I'm farmer Olivia!

You've probably seen me as a volunteer down at the stables. Though now, you can find me driving the tractor or running around and working alongside the other farmers!

From my frizzy hair down to my quirky tattoos, I'm a bubbly person and love talking to people! So, please don't hesitate to ask me any questions about the farm!

I look forward to meeting you all soon! 🙂
