ABOUT THE FARM

Where Pastoral Excellence Meets Natural Beauty

Nestled in the Hakataramea Valley of South Canterbury, Riverside Farms is not just a farm; it's a testament to the harmony between agricultural precision and the stunning Kiwi landscape. Situated approximately 15km from Kurow, 80km from Waimate, and 85km from Oamaru, our farm is a haven for specialized dairy and beef grazing.

Encompassing two blocks on either side of the Hakataramea River, Riverside Farms sprawls across over 900 hectares of predominantly flat to gently rolling terrain. From river flats to terrace flats and downs, our land offers an ideal canvas for nurturing your herds.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ashley & Kate Wilson

Sunny Downs Farm

"We have had a great experience and results with both our young stock and dairy cows winter grazing at Riverside this past season. Well-fed cows with animal wellbeing at the forefront was achieved. John being an ex-dairy farmer fully understands our needs/goals and we have had excellent communication flow throughout. Riverside has great infrastructure with an excellent core team behind it. Due to this we look forward to a long relationship grazing at Riverside moving forward.”

Lukas Chalmers (600 cows) Glenavy

"I am extremely pleased with the services provided by this grazier. Their communication is outstanding, always ensuring that all parties are well-informed and up-to-date. What is particularly commendable is their commitment to the welfare of the livestock, ensuring they are consistently well-fed and cared for. BCS was exactly where it needed to be. This grazier is highly recommended for those seeking top-quality livestock care and management."

"45 South Grazing Ltd has managed both winter cow and heifer grazing contracts for stock being grazed at Riverside Farms Ltd in the Haka Valley. Stock performance, communication and animal welfare practices were top notch. John’s (Riverside manager) attention to detail mitigated any potential issues, which provided the stock owners peace of mind. At the completion of the agreed grazing period, stock was returned to their owners exceeding target liveweight or condition score."
