Northland Farm Day Information
A short 20 minute drive from central Whangarei rests Denis and Lynne Anderson’s dairy farm. Denis and Lynne invite you to Lynden Farms to take a look at their milking shed, watch a cow being milked, hop on a tractor and interact with farm animals. This season Denis and Lynne are milking 370 cows, they manage a herd this size by using a ‘herd home’. The herd home takes cows standing off the paddocks in wet weather, saving the grass from being trampled; it also allows them to manage the herd’s feed supplements which include maize, silage, palm kernel, bread or molasses. This year Denis and Lynne also raised 400 calves, 100 of which will be kept on the farm. Bundle up the family and head to Lynden Farms to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of being a farmer.
