The visit to your farm was AWESOME! Actually it was one of our best experiences in New Zealand! We were so impressed with your concepts of running sustainable organic farming. Your innovative approach, your vision and your hard work towards achieving all that - a true inspiration for us! As ex-farmers we felt the connection from the minute we passed through the gate. We're so grateful for your interesting, down to earth explanations about the farm, your smiles and of course, the opportunity to pet Smoochy.

We have just returned from another successful visit to your farm. It was my second time and I learnt more things. I find it so fascinating. Your bull is huge! A big thanks to Greg for his time. I will be in touch later in the year as I would like to bring out our next group of summer interns.

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to see your very innovative method of dairy farming. Not only did our Perth visitors enjoy it but for our own members it was an eye opener. I am sure our club would like to bring other visitors in the future. Such contented cows. May you have every success with your operation.

Susan and I really enjoyed our tour of your milking operation - very impressive. I sent an email and a video describing your system to some of my colleages at North Carolina State University. Also, we found Amy's book an interesting way to introduce the system.
School Visits
Thank you for showing us around. It was very interesting for my students. All four of them are very inquisitive and I couldn't believe we spent almost 2 hours at the farm. Greg did an amazing job explaining how everything worked.

Thank you so much Amy and Greg (& Poppa & Granny Margaret) for a fantastic morning. Everyone loved it and there is lots of interest at school in what great things you are doing at your organic, free range, robotic milking farm. We had such a rich experience seeing the exciting animal and earth friendly initiatives whilst acknowledging the initiatives and developments in technology from the past (Poppa's shed and the Herringbone milking plant).

We truly appreciate you hosting our students regularly over the years. They have valuable learning opportunities and thoroughly enjoy their visits. R Miers, Te Tumu Whakatipu, Office of Global Engagement, Massey University, Palmerston North.
Could we please make another booking. Our class had such a good experience last year, and we would love to make it a regular field trip for the classes of second and third year students. Dr C Andrews, Animal Science Group, School of Agriculture and Environment, Massey University, Palmerston North.

I was sooo impressed with your farm and haven't stopped talking about it to everyone I meet. I hope you get future visits from some of them!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to visit your farm today. I was so impressed with your whole operation and philosophy about the dairy industry and how organics and robotics have worked for your family. Much appreciated Max Lutz, Otaki

Thank you Amy & Greg. Coming from a dairy farm as a kid, then later raising beef cattle for nearly 40 years, your robotic milking farm was fascinating to us! Keep up the good work!

We all really enjoyed visiting the farm and loved your/Greg's explanation of the farms functioning as well as meeting the cows and seeing the robots in action. We also enjoyed reading your book and thank you for answering all our questions and for making our first ever dairy farm experience a memorable one.
