We take pride in our dairy farms and employ a great team of contract milkers who together with their teams run each dairy farm to a high standard. Every farm has a tailored farm environment plan and consents which are actively managed to ensure we are operating at or above good farm management standards at all times.
We are strong supporters of our NZ Farmer owned co-op, Fonterra with all farms supplying Fonterra.
