Rotoiti Farm

About the farm

The farm runs Certified Organic sheep, cattle and 2,500 (soon to be 4000) laying hens providing a diverse but complete income. The farmhouse, the 3 bedroom cottage and all the farm buildings are nestled in a peaceful and sheltered valley, surrounded by rolling hills. 3,000 pine trees assure the property is well into “carbon credit”

Native songbirds populate the 4 acre wood and a variety of waterfowl make the small private lake their home. Fenced into 12 fields stock movement is quite simple. A good set of animal handling yards includes a loading ramp. The laying hens are housed in 4 purpose built sheds each with their own range and capable processing facillities.  They are the major income source.

Seperately Roger runs a consultancy to advise and assist new free range egg farmers.
