Our kaupapa is grounded in kaitiakitanga — guardianship of the whenua — and guided by the principle:

Care for the land, care for the people, go forward.

Kia ora koutou,

Our cows are now enjoying a well-earned rest, which means the milk truck has officially gone on holiday too! 🐄🥛

Please see the post for all the details, and make sure to follow Opepe Farm Fresh Milk Farm Fresh Milk to stay in the loop with updates on when fresh milk will be flowing again.

Our beautiful girls are officially off on their well-earned winter break. 🐄🌿💚

After another incredible milking season, it’s time for the cows, and the land they graze, to rest, reset, and recharge naturally. Nature never intended cows to milk year-round, and at Opepe Farm Trust we honour that rhythm wholeheartedly.

Our cows are now enjoying their seasonal holiday, roaming peacefully and preparing for the next season ahead. We'll miss their delicious milk, but we know this time is essential for their wellbeing and for producing the healthiest, most nutrient-dense milk possible when spring returns. 🥛✨

Thank you for supporting a way of farming that puts animal welfare, sustainability, and the health of our whenua first. Your support helps keep our community thriving and allows us to continue doing things the Opepe way, slowly, naturally, and with care.

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back in spring. 🌱
