Alistair Bird is the creator of the Kiwi Farmer videos.

The Kiwi Farmer YouTube channel gives people a look into the daily life of a sheep and beef farmer in New Zealand.

Alistair Bird, the creator of the Kiwi Farmer videos, kicked off the channel in 2021 with a simple goal: to show everyone what farming life is really like in New Zealand and to share his genuine love for the land, animals, and the environment.

Alistair’s vision with the Kiwi Farmer channel is all about highlighting the positive side of farming and sharing the way he does things on farm so that people all over the world can tune in and learn how it’s done in New Zealand.

He firmly believes in the deep bond farmers have with their land, animals, and the environment they depend on.

Alistair knows that farming isn’t just a job; it’s a way of life.
