Farming is the art of bringing together people, animals, land and technology:
a careful mix of relationships. 

We love farming and we are passionate about all things dairy

Welcome to Gardon Limited

Based in the Taupō region, Gardon is a family owned dairy farming company, focusing on large scale dairy operations.  We like to “do it big” as this allows us to focus on the best use of our land and work at a scale that encourages continuous improvement. We have five dairy farms in the district and employ a diverse and wonderful group of people who, like us, are guided by the Maori philosophy of kaitiaki, acknowledging that we are custodians and stewards of the land. 

Our vision is long-term and intergenerational

We believe that the decisions and plans we make today should leave a positive legacy for the environment, our families and our farming future.

Look after what looks after you



Do it right

We work closely with our farm managers and sharemilkers to create a workplace environment that inspires.  People want to work with us because they believe in what we do, they way we do it and we reward fairly and accordingly.


Family comes first

Family defines us, and above all it’s what we treasure the most.  We put our family first and believe in having a family supportive working environment. 


Live life above the line

We keep the bar high and aim to excel in everything we do.  This means striving to go above and beyond regulatory compliance on-farm and in all areas of our business, especially in health and safety.
