01 — The Farm
A small family farm with a big commitment
Black Pond Farm is a 106-hectare family-owned property in Mangatangi, Waikato, run by Robyn Budd and Hamish Browne. Certified organic, holistically managed, and entirely free from steroids, hormones, antibiotics, and synthetic inputs of any kind.
If it carries the Black Pond Farm name, you can be sure it’s safe, authentic, and premium. Farm to fork, from their family to yours.
“We’re a small operation with a big commitment to quality — raising certified organic, free-range, grass-fed beef the way nature intended.”

02 — The Land
30 hectares of covenanted native bush
Thirty of Black Pond Farm’s 106 hectares is in covenanted bush protected by QEII — permanently preserved as native habitat. The guts and gullies are fenced and planted in native trees. Noxious weeds and pests are actively eliminated.
The results speak for themselves: flourishing native birds, lizards, freshwater crayfish, and healthy tuna populations in the streams. This is farming that leaves the land better than it found it.
With nature taking the lead, Hamish and Robyn observe, listen, and support. Their cattle are raised free-range and grass-fed on holistically managed pasture — giving you beef that’s wholesome, flavourful, and fully certified organic.
