OUR STORY
Here at Meadow Fresh, we have been making great dairy products in New Zealand for over 50 years. Our story dates back to a small group of farmers from the open plains of Canterbury, in the South Island of New Zealand, an area known for its lush green pastures.
Our values from 1954 still hold strong today – keeping New Zealand families, and families across the world, healthy and happy. We do this by creating milk which is filled with delicious goodness, acting as a source of protein and a good source of calcium.
Our milk is smooth and creamy, with a rich and full-bodied flavour.
We strive to create nutritious and great tasting products which is why our milk is sourced from grass-fed, free range cows that roam freely outdoors across paddocks, grazing on fresh grass all year round. Meadow Fresh continues to be one of the best-selling milk brands locally in New Zealand, and that’s because we know what makes Meadow Fresh so special – clean air, nutrient-rich grasslands, and years of expert knowledge.
Despite our global scale today, we care just as much about every drop as we did, back in the days when it was just a local New Zealander’s trusted milk brand. For us, its all about quality, consistency, and our love for dairy. We are passionate about what we do - get families closer to simple dairy goodness every day.
