🌿 A New Chapter Begins 🌿

If you've travelled past our Tauhara Moana farms recently, you may have noticed something different.

Our farm gate tags have changed.

As our farming operations transition from Miraka to Fonterra, these new gate signs mark more than a change in milk collection—they represent the beginning of a new chapter for Tauhara Moana.

While the numbers may have changed, our commitment remains the same: caring for our whenua, supporting a thriving farming operation, and creating long-term value for our owners and future generations.

Every new relationship has a starting point.
For Tauhara Moana and Fonterra, it starts here.

He tīmatanga hou. He ara whakamua.
A new beginning. A pathway forward.
