Farming for Good
Inspired by the philosophies of famous American industrialist and philanthropist R. G. LeTourneau, the founding directors dreamt that they too could establish a business for doing good in the community.
The Trinity Lands trusts have a common theme of generosity through personal sacrifice – freely giving time, capital and providing security that, at times, comes with huge personal cost. Our purpose is driven by faith and a shared objective of never tiring of doing good in our community.
We manage the land for our beneficiaries, utilising a long-term window.
Leaving Thriving Assets for Future Generations
Today, Trinity Lands farm 7,400 hectares of dairy land, carrying around 16,000 livestock. In 2000, we saw the opportunity to diversify into kiwifruit.
We are focussed on being a responsible landowner – to leave assets which are thriving to benefit future generations.
While our focus is to support community organisations, we are also committed to supporting our farming staff to grow in agriculture. Our grandparents were skilled farmers who loved to share their knowledge with those new to the industry.
Donating to all sorts of organisations
Over the years, we have expanded our focus to reflect modern New Zealand, where a vast world of different groups are involved in excellent community work. We donate to all sorts of organisations, working hard for all sorts of causes.
Funding community-run programmes
It is our great privilege to be able to fund excellent community-run programmes, enabling enthusiastic and hard-working local groups to support those who face challenges.
Farming with environmental responsibility
Our farms, orchards and forestry land comply with environmental regulations. We continually look ahead to see how we can improve through systems and technologies.
