How To Move Your Farm Animals

Autumn Rain & Keyline Earthworks
Pairing Keyline Design farm layout to Polyface Farming methods makes Taranaki Farm genuinely unique in the world of sustainable/regenerative agriculture. Now with ten interlinked keyline dams and catchment road, drains and irrigation features, Taranaki Farm continues its investment in keyline design as a strategy for dryland water management which supports direct marketed, salad bar beef, pigerator pork and pastured chicken and egg enterprises.

Employing ‘Keyline Design’ principles developed by the late P.A. Yeomans, we devised a comprehensive layout for the front section of our farm that finalises the ‘mob stocked’
