Young Family Seeking Lease or Lease-to-Buy Opportunity

Hardworking young farming family seeking to expand their operation in South Canterbury. With 8 years dedicated to growing their lease operation and  scaling doubling year-on-year over the last three years, this family is driven, strategic, and ready to take the next step toward their goal of land ownership.

The Ideal Opportunity

• Looking for a lease or lease-to-buy arrangement.

• Ideally looking to get into a 300-350ha block(s), but we’re open-minded and happy to talk options

• Dwelling preferred on a block we consider

• Really interested in seeing if there is a partnership opportunity with anyone in the area who’s reducing their scale or considering stepping back from farming and

• Driven to consider options with a party that would be mutually beneficial for each of our families.

Who We Are

We’re passionate about farming and giving our growing family a rural upbringing. From starting small, we’ve grown our trading-focused operation into something we’re proud of by being agile and actively seeking out opportunities to add value to every stock unit that comes into our operation.

We’ve worked hard to build this leasing business from the ground up while juggling off-farm jobs, lease blocks, and family life. But we’d love to focus fully on farming and raise our kids on the land that we’re working toward owning one day.

We’re the type to roll up your sleeves and dig in, even when it feels like you’re up against it some days. We’re still young enough to take risks and driven enough to see them pay off.

What We’re Looking For in a Partner

• A good communicator—we value clear, two-way conversations to avoid misunderstandings.

• Someone willing to give a young family a go.

• Someone who might be open to progressive ownership models over time, so we can continue to grow our equity over time.

• Someone who sees the bigger picture: helping the next generation step into farming while crafting a partnership that benefits everyone.

Why Us?

We’re not afraid of hard work, and we’ve got the track record to prove it. With a decent bit of equity behind us, a growing business, and a strong drive to achieve land ownership in the next decade, we’re committed to making this work for both parties.

If you’re thinking about stepping back and want to explore options with a genuine, passionate family who will look after your land and livestock like it’s their own, let’s have a chat. No pressure—just a conversation.

We know good things take time, and we’re here for the long haul.
