Those of us who work on Hyundai Country Calendar feel we have some of the best jobs in New Zealand, allowing us the opportunity to get out into some beautiful parts of the country.

But even more rewarding is the chance to meet wonderful rural people who combine personal warmth, enthusiasm for their work and an entrepreneurial, can-do attitude that so often leads them to success on their land and businesses.

In this compilation of some of our favourite episodes from 2020, we're privileged to introduce you to a wide range of people, places and activities, featuring everything from buffalo milk to coffee beans, wool to persimmons.

We're sure when you view them, you'll experience the same pleasure that we got from helping them tell their unique stories.
