A seed-to-sip philosophy is the approach at Auld Farm Distillery, where the Auld family harvest the grain from their Southland farm and take a fresh new approach to bottling the essence of their land, their history and their story.
Rob and Toni Auld combine the grain from their paddocks and pure water from their own spring in an onsite distillery, resulting is a stellar range of whisky, gin and other spirits for the discerning punter.The site of Auld Farm Distillery has been growing grain since 1883.
Three generations of family – all named Robert – have worked the land in this isolated corner of New Zealand, right at the bottom of the world.Rob has always enjoyed a tipple of whisky and with a push from a Rabobank course, he created a business plan to diversify the family business and ensure opportunity for all three of the couple’s sons, in the form of an on-farm distillery.
