Spring Sheep Milk Co. was started with a clear aim 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 as proud custodians. We’re confident you’ll appreciate the benefits of drinking a gentle and nutritious milk from our Zealandia dairy sheep.
