Festive farming tips & tricks
The cows don't stop milking on Christmas Day, so to try to make it feel as Christmassy as possible we like to decorate with farm themed decor from Ruralco Home (Tractor pictured). We give all our team members Christmas presents, including baking the tanker driver cookies! – Allie King (@DairyKingsNZ)
My Christmas/summer dessert hack for anyone who has spare mandarins is to peel them and freeze them and pull them out for a sweet treat it’s like eating sorbet ice cream – Aimz (@adventures.with.aimz)
We painted up an old tyre and put it at the end of our driveway to share some Christmas spirit with everyone, and we gather greenery and dried oranges to decorate the house and Christmas tree. We also build a box to put our Christmas tree in and put together a couple of Christmas trees made of pallets for outside. – Ashleigh (@raisingafreerange_tribe)
