From videos on the small screen as people scroll, to opening up her farm to the public, Sally Newall is on a mission to share what life's like on a working farm.

The veterinarian and farmer lives on a 500-hectare farm operation in Pātoka, about 40 kilometres north of Napier, and is the woman behind Kiwi Country Kids.

In a new on-farm learning facility, she hopes to take this from the world of social media to real life.

"Part of it is about getting people on the farm and sharing what we do on the farm," she told Country Life.
