Welcome to Waimoana Station – Nurturing Faith, Tending Fields, and Raising Wiltshires by the Ocean!

We are the Martin family, proud stewards of this fertile and breathtaking land, and it is our joy to welcome you to our Christian-run farm nestled by the serene embrace of the ocean. We are 4th generation farmers, but first-generation immigrants. My family farmed beef, sheep, goat, and more in the hills of Texas before looking for softer climate and greener hills in New Zealand. We have been specialty breeding the Wiltshire sheep since moving to New Zealand 10 years ago.

Our Story: A Legacy of Faith and Farming

At Waimoana, we are not just farmers; we are shepherds guided by Christian values and a deep commitment to the welfare and health of our beloved Wiltshire sheep. Our journey is one that intertwines faith, sustainable practices, and the well-being of every creature under our care.

Wiltshires with a Difference:

We prioritize animal health and happiness through holistic practices that include rotational grazing, regenerative pasture management, and minimal intervention, such as drenching/dipping etc.

Committed to Animal Welfare:

As Christian stewards, we believe that the care we provide to our animals reflects our reverence for God’s creation. Our commitment to animal welfare extends to providing spacious pastures, comfortable shelter, and prompt veterinary care to ensure each sheep thrives in an environment of compassion.

Sustainable Farming, Healthy Sheep:

Waimoana is a haven where faith and sustainable farming practices converge. We employ regenerative agriculture methods, ensuring the land remains resilient, and our flocks are raised in an environment that nurtures their physical and mental well-being.
