When it comes to dairy farming jobs close to town with great employers it doesn't come any better than this. And throw in the ethics of organics and this is truly a role for someone who want the best of town living with a country job.Our clients have been committed to producing high quality organic milk to thirty (yes 30!) years. Needless to say they have a vast amount of knowledge and they believe that small can be beautiful.Grazing 100 cows on 100 acres their farm system is simple, but of course there is the complexity of no brought in feed and high attention to animal welfare. And with a high BW kiwi-cross herd and weed-free farm this is traditional farming at its best.Our clients live on-farm and this is a drive-in role so you'll need to live close enough to Newstead that an early commute is manageable. The shed is a 13as herringbone and cups go on at the start of the season at 6.30am, but this does get earlier as the season progresses.What our clients need is a highly energetic, enthusiastic and animal-focused team player. Ideally you've got milking and calf rearing experience, you're observant and you know enough to know when you need to take guidance, particularly in a potentially fragile organic system.So if you are interested in working with great people, are committed to animal care and understand and are keen to embrace an organic system then speak to us today. Being so close to Hamilton, this job could suit people from a range of circumstances including career changers (ideally with some prior exposure to dairy farming), students, job sharers, or simply a keen farmer whose partner lives and works in Hamilton.If you would like to apply jump onto our website www.no8hr.co.nz and apply by finding the following REF#32245
