400-HECTARE CLASSROOM
You’ll benefit from one 400-hectare award-winning farming business across five rural sites that work with Müller, AVP, and RJ Kerr. Our main 72-hectare Home Farm is on campus, with four other farms nearby. You'll have plenty of opportunities to apply theory to practice, developing your expertise across the entire food supply chain.
PUT THEORY TO PRACTICE
The commercial focus of all of our farming activities provides plenty of opportunities to gain experience, both inside and outside your learning. Home Farm offers hands-on voluntary, internship and paid roles throughout the year. Students develop a range of skills aimed at yielding consumer products in a sustainable and profitable way.
Outstanding facilities
Our farm is home to cows, calves, sheep and arable land. We boast exceptional facilities including a dairy bull-beef rearing unit, a 296-cubicle dairy unit and a Shearwell Te Pari Racewell HD3 Sheep Handler, which forms part of our Livestock Handling Project. Our land is helping to shape the future of crop biodiversity, as a chosen base for ADAS’s important environmental research plots.
