Rex B

Dairy Farmer Waikato & Agribusiness Professional

Outstanding professional advice incorporating extensive experience of the regulatory framework and practical management conditions in the real-life situations.

Phil T

Dairy Farmer

I had the pleasure of working with Alison on a recent farm systems review, where she modelled a range of scenarios across financial, environmental, and practical considerations. Her technical expertise is exceptional, and she delivered a clear, concise report that was easy to understand and apply.

Alison has a real ability to simplify complex systems, providing clarity and confidence around decision-making. She was professional, punctual, and great to work alongside throughout the process.

I found her input incredibly valuable and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone undertaking similar work.

Doug D

Dairy Farmer, Bay of Plenty

I first approached Allison for assistance to help me with a Farm Nutrient Plan. During her initial inspection of the property, she identified that a portion of the farm was ideally suited to retirement from farm production, and would suit a wetland . This was something I had already been considering for some time, although I had not yet found the confidence to move forward with it. With Allison’s guidance and encouragement, I made the decision to retire approximately 10 hectares. I found Allison and the team at Tipu Whenua highly professional. Their in depth expertise, combined with a genuine willingness to work collaboratively with clients to explore all available options, is both refreshing and highly valuable. My experience with Tipu Whenua has been extremely positive.
