New Zealand Organic Meats was brought together by directors Paul Ruddenklau and Neville Parkinson who both come from strong farming backgrounds with years of experience between them. Organics brought the two families together, and soon it became clear that both of their farming families shared similar values and end goals. Their story of how they became involved in organic farming and sustainable management practices was spurred by a desire to do better for their land, produce clean and healthy produce for their family, and encourage other farmers to do the same.
They’ve united producers with the ability to provide high-quality, certified organic livestock, safeguarding the supply chain’s integrity. New Zealand Organic Meats is made up of 40 well-known organic meat producers who all work well together to grow organic meat.
New Zealand Organics Meats promise to their suppliers and customers is to enhance and develop an ethical, sustainable, and financially sound company that promotes the philosophy of their suppliers and customers.
Their producers livestock graze on pastures that are completely free of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides. Antibiotics and growth promoters are not used on the animals. Every year, all farms are audited and certified according to internationally recognised organic standards.

To guarantee timely delivery and consistency of production, NZOM works very closely with its producers inside of the organic network. They complement one another’s productivity by providing connections and a range of management capabilities.
