Okuora Farms is based in the rural district of Domett in the Hurunui Valley, just south of Cheviot, North Canterbury.
Okuora Farms runs sheep, beef and dairy support across three properties: Brooklands (300ha), Riverview (100ha) and Bodbrane (300ha). Totalling 700ha effective, the blocks are all within a 10km radius with a mix of flat to rolling hill country and some steeper hill country in the Hurunui Valley.
Due to the coastal location of the property, it receives good rainfall, and is supported by 300ha of irrigated flats utilising pivot, rotorainers/gun and sprinklers. The current stock numbers sit at around 2400 breeding ewes, scanning at 190%, and 150 MA cows along with trading cattle and dairy grazing heifers. The dairy grazers come from a farming business whom they have built a strong relationship with. They graze dairy heifers year-round and also winter dairy cows.
The farm also grow hops which are marketing internationally under the brand Bold River Hops.
