Welcome to
Kōtare Station

An hour inland from Gisborne in the remote hills of Matawai, Kōtare Station is a hill country farm with dense indigenous bush, rich native birdlife and breathtaking views. Here, we raise our sheep, cattle and deer amongst thriving biodiversity. Caretakers for our land, sustainability is our priority to safeguard our farm for generations to come.

In partnership
with Toha

A one-of-a-kind global marketplace with climate and environmental impact at its heart, Toha’s vision is to make New Zealand the first country to achieve economic prosperity by fully regenerating the environment.

We’re proud to be working with the team at Toha as a pilot farm to pave the way for Kiwi farmers to change the course of our biodiversity crisis.
