Festive farming tips & tricks

We give all our team members Christmas presents, including baking the tanker driver cookies! – Allie King (@DairyKingsNZ)

We painted up an old tyre and put it at the end of our driveway to share some Christmas spirit with everyone, and we gather greenery and dried oranges to decorate the house and Christmas tree.
