Our family-run Organic Dairy Farm is located 25 minutes NW of Taupo and we are currently looking for 2 farm assistance to join our team. Our farm is 240ha of flat to rolling contour with some steeper areas. We are looking to milk 480 cows in the 2022-2023 dairy season. 85% of our cows are wintered on the farm with grass, silage, hay and maize and the rest are sent to our other farm in the Hawkes Bay.
We are looking for an individual or couple who are looking for a change, are keen to work, show loyalty and will commit to at least one season. Ag ITO training will be an option as will ATV and tractor courses, and a milk harvesting course.
We can offer a family environment with an excellent rural primary school (Years 0-8) three minutes from your accommodation. The Marotiri School children complete their annual cross country on our farm, and there is a great sense of community in the area should you wish to get involved. The high school bus is 1km down the road from your house and there are two high schools in Taupo to choose from. We are central to many outdoor activities; hunting, hiking, excellent mountain bike tracks, Pureora Forest Park, W2K walks, the beautiful lake only 15 minutes away, central north island skiing, and only an hour to Rotorua’s international airport.
Applicants must be in New Zealand to apply for this job & be able to come for an interview in the next two weeks. :)
