Highland Station
Farm with multiple locations
Highlands Station is a 1240 ha hill country sheep and cattle farm situated 15 km south of Rotorua in the catchments of Lake Rotokakahi and Lake Tarawera. The property is a mix of easy, medium, and steeper hill country, streams, native bush, pine forest with views out to Mt Tarawera, Rotorua Lakes and beyond.
It has been developed and farmed by the Ford family since 1931, and is currently owned and managed by John and Catherine Ford. Within the 25o paddocks there are several sets of yards and stock handling facilities.
There has been extensive work done over the last 86 years to protect the native bush and streams on the property. Highlands Station is run to be both profitable and environmentally sustainable, and was winner of the Gordon Stephenson Trophy and National Farm Environment Award in 2015.
