For seven years, Kate and Andrew have managed this farm: two as owners and five as sharemilkers. The Tasman Sea borders the farm, which milks 200 cows on flat to undulating terrain.
It is primarily a grass-fed system, which is significant since it produces high-quality, organically generated milk and healthy cows because the grass is grown naturally and taken fresh from the field.
For for over 35 years, Mark and Christine Burnett have been contentedly milking cows together. The beautiful grass fields on their property in Westport’s Tauranga Bay are a monument to their hard work today.
They have learned a great deal throughout their time on the West Coast. Their farm has participated in a number of scientific studies, including studies on grass pastures. Melissa, their daughter, goes out and measures the grass for them so they can precisely monitor each field and make the required corrections. Mark can now bring out a file and explain to you exactly what is happening on each field and how fertiliser inputs effect grass growth, having tested the system for years. That is commitment to the grass-fed method.

A lot of firms say their milk originates from animals who are fed grass. The term “grass-fed” is neither defined nor quantified by any global standard. It is the responsibility of a conscientious maker to make their claims understandable and open.
You may be assured that we have the evidence to support a product when you see the Genuinely Grass-Fed Guarantee on it. We gather the dairy feed records from each of our milk suppliers annually. We determine how much grass-based feed is fed to the cows overall on each of the farms that supply our milk based on this data. These numbers assist us in figuring out what proportion of our milk supply originates from cows that are given grass.
