They care for this land as it was handed on by their ancestors, they in turn will nurture and pass it on to future generations. The land will never be sold. <br \/>With access to, and use of, cost effective renewable geothermal energy and the advantage of an emerging infrastructure that will eventually service a complex of industrial businesses, this location has many benefits. The emerging infrastructure includes a direct rail link to one of New Zealand\u2019s busiest ports, the Port of Tauranga. This rail link will enable Wai\u016b Dairy to reduce its carbon footprint when transporting products to market.<br \/>Alongside our stakeholders, we work hard to ensure we will sustain a future in dairying by acting as caretakers of the land.<br \/>The M\u0101ori values of Kaitiakitanga, Manaakitanga, Whanaungatanga &amp; Tinorangatiratanga underpin how we do this. These values support a focus on land management processes and environmental best practice. <br \/>Part of this includes our support of the My Noke worm farm in Taupo \u2013 this is a collaborative and partnership approach, critical to ensuring the land is looked after for use by future generations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a1a806 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2a1a806\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ffb518b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ffb518b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f5a2a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9f5a2a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our Milk<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d30e5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d30e5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In line with our focus on health, Wai\u016b milk meets international dairy compliance standards and provides assurance of a grass-fed milk source.<\/p>\n<p>Sourced close to our site, we can ensure our dairy products are fresh, with superior flavour and less harmful environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>With our sights set firmly on a sustainable farming future for Aotearoa, we ensure there is a focus on regenerative agriculture, sustainable processes and utilisation of natural farming practices<\/p>\n<p>Our transparency and traceability processes give consumers the assurance of where their dairy has come from, right back to the farm it came from.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7dfdf2f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7dfdf2f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15484a6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"15484a6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d2c426 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7d2c426\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a934fb8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a934fb8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;full&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-383009d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"383009d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our Processing Plant<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e0153f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6e0153f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The new Wai\u016b factories are sustainable \u2013 there are operated using geothermal steam.
