Most of Middle-Earth's Hobbits called The Shire home, but where exactly was this beautiful, grassy expanse filmed in regular Earth?

Not just The Shire, but every other scenery in the entire trilogy of the 'Lord of the Rings' was filmed in New Zealand. From the hilltops and forests to the mountains and farmlands, it took filmmakers 4 years to venture to each location and create the Middle-Earth world.
