Theland Farm Fresh Whole Milk Powder (400g)

The raw milk used to manufacture the product is sourced from cows across New Zealand farms.

Free Range Cows

The cows live outside on paddocks throughout the year, roaming freely under New Zealand’s typical 2,000 annual sunshine hours.

Cows are typically milked a maximum of twice a day during the peak dairy season, reducing to once a day during the lower season.

Fresh Pasture

The cows graze on *fresh pasture as their primary food source. In New Zealand, over the entire dairy season there is on average approximately 1 hectare of farmland for every 2-3 cows.

To ensure efficient use of farmland and continuous supply of pasture, fields are rotated regularly with cow herds being allocated to a specific paddock during each **rotation.

*To ensure that their nutritional needs are met, the cows are provided with supplementary feed during winter and poor weather conditions.

**Dairy farming practices in New Zealand vary depending on region and season, as climate factors influence grass growth and nutrition.

Theland’s New Zealand milk comes from cows that live outside on paddocks throughout the year.

Outdoor grazing is one factor that New Zealand dairy farmers leverage to achieve the world’s lowest carbon footprint for milk production. This is evidenced by international carbon benchmarking studies.

New Zealand’s dairy farmers are committed to ensuring that the dairy sector remains an efficient producer of low emissions milk by working to further reduce the greenhouse gas emissions produced on farm.

Reduction targets for greenhouse emissions (carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane) are outlined within the New Zealand’s Government Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Act.

The farms where the milk is sourced from comply with the environmental regulations prescribed by New Zealand's Regional Councils.

Theland Farm Fresh Whole Milk Powder is produced in compliance with New Zealand's Resource Management Act (2009), and local council Resource Management Plans, which set out rules and regulations around management of the New Zealand environment. 

These rules include:

• Disposing of waste in ways that prevent pollution
