Organic Farming
We maintain clear traceability from pasture to customer and ensure quality Organic inputs and Organic certification is maintained throughout the manufacturing process.
If you go with an organic, grass-fed milk, you can be confident that the cows were pasture-raised without exposure to antibiotics, GMO foods, or pesticides. The milk from these cows also tends to be lower in saturated fats, has more protein, and has a healthier balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Milk is harvested from only Organic Certified farms produced from New Zealand Cows.
We love the land we live on and the animals who share it with us, so it makes sense for us to manage the farm organically – our farmers proud to be a BioGro NZ certified organic farm.
Organic farming means we don't take shortcuts
GMO free
No artificial fertiliser
No antibiotics

What does it mean to be Organic in NZ?
"Organic" has been defined by the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) as ‘avoiding or excluding the use of synthetic fertilisers, pesticides, antibiotics, growth modification and irradiation.’
- BioGro NZ (which is the certifying body we operate under), provides a more detailed view for what is organic, using 8 key principles that all farms must meet each year to retain their organic certification:
- Traceability: understanding where all the inputs originate from, and what’s in them.
- Animal welfare: maintain the highest level of animal welfare, this means happier and healthier animals. Provide them with plenty of space and a clean diet.
- Climate change: work towards a green NZ by working with nature, avoiding synthetic fertilisers and pesticides, and promoting overall environmental health.
- Biodiversity: organic farms provide a haven for local wildlife to flourish, in particular local bird populations and bees.
- Packaging: packaging must be chosen to minimise environmental impact, such as recycled or reusable packaging.
- Care for workers: organic standards will not allow for violation of human rights.
- Health and wellbeing: As BioGro themselves state, “organic food is real food. It is not genetically engineered or altered in any way. It is made without synthetic colourings, preservatives or additives.”
- Advertising: certified organic producers must get all packaging, labels and marketing materials approved before it is used. Strict rules are in place to ensure transparency and honesty in marketing.
Raw, organic, grass-fed cows milk is the best option for your dog.
Raw milk has a higher content of lactase, which will help your dog digest the lactose in the milk.
If you go with an organic, grass-fed milk, you can be confident that the cows were pasture-raised without exposure to antibiotics, GMO foods, or pesticides. The milk from these cows also tends to be lower in saturated fats, has more protein, and has a healthier balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
