This historic river bed is not only home to well bred horses, but what we call our Maincrop production too. Here once lay the mighty Waikato River 20,000 years ago, or so, before gradually re-routing itself west where it now flows out through Port Waikato. Left behind are naturally fertile sandy sedimentary soils high in organic matter and great for crops. We harness these attributes and grow high-volume crops at peak season: onions, potatoes for processing and squash. The relatively flat land means our equipment causes minimal disruption to the soil.
