Celebrate Success and Strive for Excellence.

Our People

Empower Each Other to Make Good Decisions

Everything we do revolves around Our Team

To say we value and recognise the importance of our people is an understatement. In fact, everything we do revolves around our team and our culture.

Our farms are managed by individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds – from those who grew up in rural New Zealand and have always been immersed in agriculture, to those who worked in the corporate sector before drastically changing career paths. No matter where they’ve come from, they’re supported by a system which was designed to foster success; which has evolved over time to cultivate the capabilities of the individual, to encourage innovative thinking, and to nurture ownership and responsibility.

We realise that any success the company enjoys is a direct result of the efforts of the individuals involved, and we recognise those efforts accordingly. Where appropriate we encourage our managers to become shareholders and business owners, working alongside them to plan for their futures and help make their dreams and aspirations a reality. As a consequence we enjoy unparalleled staff retention, and a working environment which is inspiring, invigorating, and plenty of fun to be involved in!
