Trust a farmer to give us their opinion.

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind.

We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed

Goodbye to all my friends on neighbourly

Rosie from Parkvale

I have moved to Katikati and will miss so much about Hastings and all the lovely people there. Hastings is the most convenient town I have ever lived in with everything you need being just around the corner or within 10 mins drive and the airport only 20 mins away. And no huge waiting in traffic.… View moreI have moved to Katikati and will miss so much about Hastings and all the lovely people there. Hastings is the most convenient town I have ever lived in with everything you need being just around the corner or within 10 mins drive and the airport only 20 mins away. And no huge waiting in traffic.

In fact the only complaint of late has been the near impossibility to see a doctor - haven't been able to see mine for over a year. Fortunately that is not a problem up here. But the traffic is dreadful and everything is so far from everything else. But the move was necessary as we aged and needed to be nearer the support of family.

Keep safe and well all you lovely people and I will not forget you.

New email scams

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I received 2 emails, supposedly from NZPost and DHL, informing me I needed to update my details.
They are exactly the same email, but for the sender name. And I’m pretty sure NZPost knows better than to put 2 s’s in post, and DHL knows the difference between I and L.

My Mother Kept A Garden

My Mother kept a garden,
A garden of the heart.
She planted all the good things
That gave my life its start.
She turned me to the sunshine
And encouraged me to dream.
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem.
And when the winds and rain came,
She protected me enough.
But not too much because she knew
I'd need to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example
Always taught me right from wrong.
Markers for my pathway
That will last a lifetime long.
I am my Mother's garden.
I am her legacy.
And I hope today she feels the love – Reflected back at me.
