Job Description

Longacre Farming is a family-run dairy in Waikite Valley, twenty-five minutes south of Rotorua.

Five hundred eighty cows, split calving, System five with a feed pad and mixer wagon.

We run Halter virtual fencing across the herds to lift pasture harvested and give everyone a better work-life balance.

Cow health comes first here, always.

We're looking for a farm assistant who wants to build a career in dairying. This isn't a dead-end grunt job. You'll learn from experienced people, get proper training, and have a real shot at progressing in the industry. If you're keen to get better at what you do, you'll fit in.

We keep things structured but not stiff. Everyone gets decent time off, and we actually want you to have a life outside the farm. There's banter, there's hard work, and there's no pretending otherwise.

The role comes with a three-bedroom house and a double garage as part of the package.

Applicants must already be in New Zealand with full working rights — overseas applications without a valid visa won't be considered. To apply, send your CV and two references to [email protected].
