Discover our storyOUR STORY
Rooted in the mountains, growing across Aotearoa.
Since 1938, High Country Creamery has been proudly owned by the farming families whose herds graze our alpine meadows. Together we craft artisan cheeses, cultured butters and honest bottled milk that carry the character of the land in every bite. Today, over 2,400 employees and 310 farming families work side by side to bring dairy that’s better — for people, for animals, and for the planet.
