ABOUT LAKE FARM

Our Story

Lake Farm is an artisan Angus cattle breeder nestled on the banks of Lake Karapiro.

As a registered Angus cattle stud (Lake Farm Genetics), our mission has always been to breed exceptional animals known for their outstanding carcasses, high growth, and superior eating quality. We believe we are well on our way. We were proud to win the prestigious Beef + Lamb New Zealand Steak of Origin competition twice and to have been finalists seven times over nine consecutive years. Although the competition no longer runs, this unique achievement remains a source of great pride.

One of the highlights of what we do is crafting gourmet pies using our own beef. These artisan pies are sold online and shipped directly to customers across the country.

Perhaps our greatest thrill came in 2018, when our breeding program and artisan pies were featured on New Zealand’s iconic Country Calendar TV program. The response was so overwhelming it temporarily crashed our website—even though we had warned our web host! The show’s producers told us they’d never seen such a reaction. It was a moment we’ll never forget.

It’s been an amazing journey so far, and we’re so grateful. But there’s still more to come.
