Thank You
It's difficult to put into words just how grateful we are for the support and encouragement of our customers, supporters and those who have visited our farm over the years.
Many people have helped us develop our current farming system, and many of those have done so with the hope that cow-with-calf dairy farming could become much more commonplace. We hope that too.
For that to happen will require a big shift in mindset in the industry, driven by a push from the public, encouragement from government, and an understanding of the wider benefits of agroecological farming. It will also require knowledge and experience to be shared. We hope that sharing as much as possible about what we know and have learned will help.
Our goal is to make sure that nothing about our farm transformation is left unsaid.
