Why we Care
Our Mission
As a brand, we think our Mission is absolutely possible, and we’re
making it happen. We stand alongside dairy lovers and
conscious consumers alike – we don’t think you should have to
choose; you deserve both. We ’re on your side when it comes to
your desire for the goodness and nutritional benefits of dairy
coupled with the assurance of ‘dairy that cares’. That’s precisely
what we’re committed to. Championing values, people,
environment, animals and the planet is our battle cry.
Whilst we believe every one of our products is exceptional, we
are forging ahead with a unique provenance to our own farms
and have commenced making products like the 10 Star Butter.
Additionally, our certification is being used by farms producing
our fresh white milks too that are independently audited to the

pivotal role in this as the more we sell, the more
opportunities to build and produce products from the farms
that we own comes to you, the consumer.
Where we can’t provide products from our farms we source
product from other New Zealand farms near processing
plants that can make our products.
Being Climate Cool
How We Care
It’s in our DNA, and part of our philosophy that we play our part and make a difference in the world — from little things, big things grow. Biodiversity and climate change are two sides of the same coin and it’s our Mission Possible to do as much as we can as a company to be ‘Climate Cool’. We own xxx hectares of lush green farmland in New Zealand, and tucked amongst the animals and fields are over 200,000(?) of native plants and trees that we’ve tended and regenerated. Our intention is to not buy carbon credits (we think that’s cheating), we’re out to become carbon neutral using the provisions from within our farms. Both native trees and grasslands sequester carbon, much needed as carbon sinks. We’ve planted multi species through low to no till practices within our fields for the reason of increasing soil biodiversity and water retention, to assist climate resilience with the added benefit that it provides the cows a heap of grass to munch on. Southern Pastures, Lewis Road’s parent is a leader in regenerative farming and a hero of the soil ( after all in healthy soils, a tea spoon holds more life than humans on this planet). Our farmers are our food providers and having food from reputable sources, grown naturally … is our soul goal.

Our 10 Star Certified
Our Origins
In 2012, two distinct ideas were conceived by two different minds,
ultimately giving rise to two diverse dairy brands. Lewis Road Creamery
emerged from the aspiration of an Ad man to craft a premium butter in a market that was decidedly middle-of-the-road. Simultaneously, there arose a challenger alternative approach to dairy farming with
consideration for soil, regenerative practices, environmental sustainability, animal welfare, human welfare and gratitude and care for the planet. Over the subsequent six years, these two brands matured: Lewis Road
Creamery striking a chord with its viral chocolate milk sensation, while Southern Pastures diligently developed a meticulously audited 10 Star Certified farming system, yielding remarkably golden grass-fed butter. By 2018 Southern Pastures sought to establish its own business-to consumer brand. Coincidently at the time, Lewis Road Creamery was available for acquisition, presenting the ideal opportunity for a perfect marriage. The acquisition established, and today the overarching Southern Pastures brand stands for premium dairy products, that are not only packed full of conscious consumer “values”, but are also better for
the planet. Southern Pastures is funded by pension funds and run by about 100 damn
hardworking Kiwis from farmers to our fabulous sales team who believe in
simply “doing the right thing”.
