About Us


Creating Goodness from the Farms the World Needs

 

Established in 1948, Silver Fern Farms is a market-led food company, supplying nutritious and delicious, sustainably and ethically raised grass-fed red meat and other natural products, from Aotearoa to the world. We are New Zealand’s leading processor, marketer and exporter of premium quality lamb, beef and venison and associated products to over 60 global markets.

We are deeply connected to the rural communities of New Zealand. In peak season, we employ over 6,000 people globally and connect to a network of over 16,000 farmer suppliers nationwide.

We are committed to doing good by nature and creating a nature positive future, enabled by a clear and enduring sustainability plan. n
