Sustainability Hero
Jersey Girl Organics
Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Matamata, New Zealand, lies Cleavedale Farm, home to Jersey Girl Organics. For more than a century the Vosper family has been dedicated to producing high quality, organic A2 Jersey milk. Their commitment to sustainability and ethical farming has been at the forefront of the family business for five generations.
At Jersey Girl Organics, sustainability is more than just a buzzword; it's a way of life. The farm operates on the principles of regenerative agriculture, which focuses on restoring and maintaining healthy ecosystems. By avoiding synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, the farm promotes biodiversity and provides a haven for wildlife, including birds and bees.
The Jersey Girls aka cows at Cleavedale Farm are treated with the utmost care and respect. They have space to raooam freely and are fed an organic grass diet. This ensures the health and well-being for the cows and for drinkers it means milk rich in Omega 3 and A2 protein. The milk is bottled on the farm without any additives or modifications, preserving its natural goodness.
Jersey Girl Organics also practices circular sustainability, aiming to minimise waste and make the most of every resource. The farm recycles water, composts organic waste and uses renewable energy sources wherever possible. This holistic approach to farming benefits the environment while ensuring the farm’s long-term viability.
The Vosper family's dedication to sustainable farming has not gone unnoticed. Jersey Girl Organics has received multiple awards for their efforts, including recognition for their commitment to organic farming and environmental stewardship. Between 2018 and 2022, their A2 Organic Milk won Dairy Gold Medals every consecutive year at the Outstanding NZ Food Producer Awards.
As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, Jersey Girl Organics stands as a shining example of how business can make a positive impact. Their journey is a testament to the power of sustainable practices and the difference they can make in creating a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
