With the dairy farm operating within the grounds of the school, beside the velodrome and alongside the river and Cambridge town boundary we are very aware of the importance of public perception of our farming practices. 

Owl Farm featured on Rural Delivery in May 2021, showcasing our journey as a demonstration farm since inception.

It is our duty to help educate and provide positive dairy farm experiences for those who are not exposed to the realities of farming in NZ. We endeavour to host as many groups as we can on farm throughout the year; we particularly enjoy having local primary schools and opening the gate on our annual Public Open Day to people from all over the North Island.
