Spring Sheep Milk Co. is supplied by milk from around 20,000 milking sheep across the North Island.


Thomas MacDonald is a third-generation dairy farmer from Gordonton, Waikato, who has found a unique space within the New Zealand Agricultural sector combining our strengths of producing high-quality dairy products with our national expertise of farming sheep. Where best-suited land-use, farm systems expertise, existing infrastructure, sustainable practices and a close connection with consumer combine - that’s where you will find Spring Sheep.


The New Zealand sheep milking industry as a start-up sector is no stranger to fast-pace of change so Thomas’ insights into how to approach change are invaluable. So settle in with a cuppa for this next episode of The Whole Story Podcast, or even better have a listen while you’re out getting some much needed Vitamin D - Spring has sprung!
