From a farmer’s heart

Janette Perrett shares her story of converting a Waikato dairy farm to organics

As a family we have been dairy farming all our lives. Neil and I built our herd up over time in the Waikato as we worked up through the ranks of contract milker to sharemilker and then to leasing properties. Fifteen years ago our youngest daughter left school to work on the farm and has been working with me as my ‘right-hand woman’ ever since.
