The weather is getting warmer, the mud on the ground has disappeared, the grass has been growing lots, making animals and people are happy.

Pukeatua Farmstay has a number of various mechanical traps and bait station spread around the property.

September came and marked the beginning of spring. Two days prior however it was the coldest night of the year with frost on the car windscreen.

With winter just around the corner your home will start to feel colder. We have some dry excellent quality pinecones for sale.

We had flooding and cylones. The ducks have been the only very happy creatures but they turned their area into a slimy, muddy mess. Guess that sums up the last few months.

Last night we said goodbye to our much-loved cat Ziggy Stardust. She fell aslep amidst her cat and human family, not to wake up anymore.

February was thought to finally bring summer. What it brought instead was more rain – and storm.

The month is almost over and has been rather eventful. From rain to sunshine to torrential rain again and alpaca shearing in between.

Apart from the usual winter farm activities, there has not been much exciting stuff happening. It’s been a typical winter with lots of rain, lots of mud but rather warm in comparison. It looks like nature has decided that it is spring.

The weather has turned from somewhat wet and warm to rather wet and cold. The horses have been rugged up just like the goats. The rodent infestation has become noticeable, so we started putting up more traps on top of the traps and bait stations…

Within days, the hot summer weather had moved on and made space for moderate temperatures with rain and fog.

The warm and humid weather produced lovely field mushrooms to be harvested. Earlier we harvested basil, limes and potatoes.
