Living in Ashers
Ashers is a small Southland locality in the farming country of the Southland district, carrying the name of an early settler family in the tradition of rural Southland's locality naming conventions. The Southland district distributed personal and family names across its rural localities with the thoroughness of a district administration that needed to distinguish one farming crossroads from another, and Ashers records an early settler's presence in the landscape.
The farming around Ashers is Southland's productive plains model: the dairy and sheep farming that the district's flat, reliable country supports, managed by farming families whose connection to the land runs through multiple generations of agricultural operation. Southland's farming plain here is the broad, open country that the district's geography produces, with the flat horizon and the open skies that the working farming families move through daily.
The permanent population is the farming families on the surrounding properties, with the nearest Southland service centres providing the schools, shops and social infrastructure that the locality requires. The flat Southland roads make the service centres accessible in the driving times that the district's farming families consider routine.
Children from Ashers attend the nearest Southland district schools.
