Spring Sheep’s natural sheep milk difference

Spring Sheep Milk Co. is a New Zealand company. Our sheep milk is sourced from our dedicate farms in New Zealand, which is famous for its high-quality dairy production and unique, pasture-based agricultural model. We believe our natural New Zealand farms provide one of the gentlest and most nutritious milk products in the world.

Proudly New Zealand

Our milk is supplied by ~ 15,000 milking sheep across farms in the Central North Island (From Cambridge to Taupō). Each farm is managed by a very passionate and dedicated team of farming professionals, many of whom live and work on the farm. Almost all of our milk is spray-dried into powder at Food & Innovation Waikato, which is then used to create our Early Life Nutrition range and Everyday Nutrition powders.

Created for families

We go above and beyond to protect the integrity of our sheep milk and every ingredient we use, to ensure the highest quality products – products that we happily give our own kids and families.

Closer to nature

Our sheep eat grass which is their preferred natural state.
Our flock of elite dairy sheep living on our central North island farms enjoy the opportunity to graze free-range on beautiful rich lucerne and red clover pastures, and on our hybrid farms they also have access to weatherproof shelters.

Grass-fed sheep milk is truly special; it is one of the most nutritious milks available.

Grass-fed sheep milk is also proven to taste better than regular (grain-fed) milk.

The beautiful taste of sheep milk

Our products are highly nutritious, but it is important to us that you also enjoy their taste. We believe that New Zealand sheep milk is one of the most beautiful tasting milks in the world. Sheep milk has double the solids of cow’s milk, giving it a creamy, naturally sweet taste.

Doing more with less

Spring Sheep Milk Co. was started with a clear aim to do better dairy and, to provide a tastier, gentler and more nutritious alternative to goat or cow’s milk.

We are dedicated to looking after our animals, our people and the land we farm and protect as proud custodians. We’re confident you’ll appreciate the benefits of drinking a gentle and nutritious milk from our healthy sheep.
