Our Farm
When starting out, it was vital for us to find a partner we could trust to bring our dream to life. Our milk comes from farms that graze as they did for generations, ensuring the cows have access to green pastures during the grazing season. That means our girls spend their days in paddocks of lush green grass and forage in a regenerative process called “rotational grazing”, which protects and builds the health of the pasture and the soil.
New Zealand practices, USA grown
The New Zealand Way of Farming Here in the US
We’re inspired by the farming techniques employed by the New Zealand farming community, leaders in the free-range dairy industry. We combine these techniques with best practices in American agriculture to give our customers a selection of pure, premium pasture-raised dairy products, unlike conventional products.

The Farming Terms We live by
+ Pastoral Farming
This is a term given to farming that includes livestock rather than focusing on crops. With pastoral farming or grazing, we use the cows to harvest what we grow and do the best for the land.
+ Sharemilking
A cornerstone of the New Zealand dairy industry, this is a genuine pathway model to allow young farmers to work towards farm ownership. When parties come together, IE. the landowner and the sharemilker, willing to run the farm and milk the cows, the profits are split in a mutually beneficial partnership.
+ Grass-fed
Feeding dairy cows a diet of green grass rich with nutrients has a number of health benefits but is also the simplest and easiest source of food as well. Cow’s stomachs are built for green grass, it’s great for their digestion and is the most effective food source when it comes to pastoral farming.
+ Paddocks
Our fields are made up of smaller paddocks in which our cows graze. When they're outdoors eating green grass, they also naturally return their waste to the ground, enhancing the regenerative impacts of rotational grazing
