Dairy farmers bringing back kiwi, NorthlandKei te whakahoki mai ngā kaimahi miraka i te kiwi, Te Taitokerau

Lodore Farm has been producing dairy for 30 years – but that’s not the whole story.

***

Kua 30 tau a Ladore Farm e mahi miraka ana – heoi, ehara i te mea ka mutu ana te kōrero ki reira.

A quarter of the farm is native bush, with kauri, rimu, tōtara, and waterfalls, and home to around 50 pairs of North Island brown kiwi.

Learn how cows and kiwi are co-existing in Ōkaihau.
