The station
There’s more to our land than it’s world class hunting. Learn about our commitment to the land and sustainable farming that is at the core of how we work.
We’re proud to be the first B-Corp, Carbon Zero-certified farm in New Zealand.
As a historic sheep and beef station, our commitment lies in showing how farming can play a role in healing the planet.
We primarily focus on producing high-quality merino wool and work closely with brands like Another Tomorrow, Sheep Inc, Maggie Marilyn and Allbirds.
Our belief is that being climate-positive is the most effective way to support the planet. We’ve planted over 25,000 native trees, protected large areas of regenerating native habitat and adopted numerous regenerative and sustainable farming practices.
Our mission centres around combating climate change and building biodiversity.

Biodiversity and climate
Lake Hāwea Station (LHS) is home to over 300 species including 10 endemic and 8 native birds. We are doing everything to ensure farming is part of the climate and biodiversity crisis solution.
We are proud to be custodians over a large area of land and it is our duty to make sure we improve the biodiversity value, water quality and sequester carbon on Lake Hāwea Station every year.
To sequester more carbon from this world than we emit into it is the single biggest Koha we can make to the world.
We have embedded a whole new level of science for climate action. We measure all our emissions, including transportation hours, waste, and stock. We map all our existing and newly planted vegetation to confirm we are moving the dial towards our ultimate goal of 10x climate positive.
We’ve turned to emerging science that uses remote sensing and artificial intelligence to measure the volume of carbon sequestered from our native forest through our partner CarbonCrop.
