Together, we can grow their appreciation for their food

At Little Farmers, we believe you're never too young to learn where your food comes from. From cow to cone or paddock to plate, our books take kids on a fun, hands-on journey through the food chain.

Proudly rural, proudly Kiwi, and made for curious little minds.

Little Farmers x Appleby Farms

Created in collaboration with Appleby Farms, this Special Edition celebrates the journey from paddock to cone in the heart of Nelson’s sunlit Appleby Plains.

Milk from local, family-owned farms travels just minutes to the creamery, where it’s traditionally churned into delicious tubs of ice cream — a true community effort from farmer to freezer.

Together, we’re proud to share the story behind every scoop, honouring the people, place, and passion that make it all possible.
