At Open Country, you can count on us to deliver, to adapt and to put you first. Inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of our founders and our family based values, our people are focused on building partnerships that you can count on to add value to your business.
We partnered with Open Country as they are 100% New Zealand owned and were supportive of business expansion by not having to invest in shares.
We’re proud to supply Open Country.

We have been with Open Country since 2009. Initially we switched for succession planning, then grew the production by 80,000 kgMS and did not have to buy shares. We then bought land again with no restriction on capital. It’s a great partnership and we feel like we are in control.

As first farm owners, not needing to outlay capital for shares was a huge benefit to us. Settlements are paid at ideal times of the season, are great for cash flow and have been positive for our business.

We feel relaxed, confident and strongly supported, with great lines of communication and regular updates.
Our Milk Supply Manager knows what we need and provides wrap-around support as we strive towards our farming goals.

We are very happy with our decision to supply Open Country in 2015. We have enjoyed flexibility around collection times.
We appreciate the competitive payout and the settlement periods within each season assist our cash flow.
We enjoy the inclusiveness of the regular supplier meetings and the Christmas function.

Open Country being 100% New Zealand owned for me is a big one.
You want investment to stay here, go to communities, local families, and support the future of the New Zealand dairy industry.

We have been owner operators for the last 37 years and changed to Open Country in 2017. We have found Open Country staff and management to be excellent to deal with, professional and also practical and down to earth.
Their values are a breath of fresh air, and we know we can continue supplying Open Country with confidence.

We were the eighth suppliers who Open Country signed up and we’ve never looked back. Though Open Country is privately owned, we feel that it has a true co-op spirit. Our views are taken seriously and every time we call, someone always answers the phone or calls us back.
These guys understand our business, are personable, and fun, and they are more than willing to work with us. We are never dictated to.
Supplying this Company adds to our enjoyment of farming.
