Farmers

Farmers stores throughout New Zealand supported their own charities throughout our birthday celebration period, and the company matched customers’ donations ‘dollar for dollar’.


Each store selected a local charity or community project to support from June to mid-September 2009. Money raised by each store, the Distribution Centre and Head Office has now been matched by Farmers dollar for dollar with a grand total of $1,493,423 being donated to our chosen charities in late October.

Congratulations to our stores for their amazing fundraising efforts!

$1,493,423 Total raised donations for charities and community projects, including the Farmers contribution.

Charity begins at Farmers

There couldn’t be a better way of celebrating 100 years of serving New Zealand than giving something back to our community. That’s why every one of the 56 Farmers stores in New Zealand has chosen their own charity to support.
