A regenerative farm in New Zealand's Southern Alps focuses on biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and community involvement, while running eco-tourism and ultra-traceable merino wool sales to support conservation efforts.

Lake Hāwea Station is a regenerative high country merino sheep and angus beef farm located on picturesque Lake Hāwea in New Zealand Southern Alps. This project is helping to regenerate 7km of lakefront native forest to protect critical biodiversity, boost carbon sequestration, enhance water quality and involve community.

At Lake Hāwea Station aspire to produce more from less and believe productivity and profitability can work hand in hand with biodiversity and environmental improvement, alongside a business model that is also sustainable. We sell our merino wool with ultra-traceability direct to international fashion brands like Sheep Inc. who have reinvested in conservation on the Station. We also run an eco-tourism operation, where everyone who comes to the farm learns about our regenerative agriculture operation, climate action initiatives and conservation action. The tourism and farming operations enable our customers to both connect with biodiversity on farm and the funds raised allow us to expand our conservation work. Lake Hāwea Station was New Zealand's first carbon zero certified farm and is a passionate champion for climate action and regenerative farming. We are proud adopters of many early agritech initiatives and are a hub of knowledge, research, education, and opportunity for profitable and resilient farming around the world. Lake Hāwea Station is a proud to be part of the global Bcorp community fighting for a better future for our planet and children.
