New Zealand is one of the world’s most efficient dairy farming economies. It has a big reputation for producing comprehensive international research, practices and products.

In New Zealand there are over 13, 000 dairy farmers, who between them produce 1. 25 billion kilograms of milk solids annually from around 3 Botany at Dairy Farm Price . 5 million dairy cows. These statistics gives you some idea as to why buying a dairy farm in New Zealand offers such great investment appeal.

Every year there are literally thousands of people looking for a dairy farm for sale in New Zealand. The main farming communities of this type are the Waikato/Bay of Plenty region, which makes up 43% of the country’s dairy farms. Other regions include the Lower North Island (24%), Canterbury (12%), Southland (11%) and Northland (9%).

The Waikato and Bay of Plenty region’s soils are very favourable to this type of farming. These parts of the country also offer an excellent all year round climate and are conveniently located in the centre of the North Island.

Just over a year ago I purchased a dairy farm in Morrinsville, which is one of the three most prosperous farming communities in New Zealand and one of the most intensely farmed areas in the world. I had been looking for a dairy farm for sale in New Zealand for around 6 months and through significant research, it dawned on me that Morrinsville was the ideal location to buy.

Owning a farm in New Zealand offers an appealing working lifestyle. As long as you’ve got a couple of part-time farm hands, you can enjoy the flexibility and relaxed pace that this type of farming offers. For me, moving away from the noise of people and cars and dirty air was a dream. Owning a pet in the city was also near impossible. I love dogs and there is no better place for a dog to be than on a farm where they can get all the unsupervised exercise they need.
