Managed by Rhys and Kiri Roberts since it was purchased in June 2013. Clareview is tucked away in the Westerfield district, 25km from Ashburton.
This 296 effective hectare farm is the largest farm in the group, and milks 1100 cows through an 80 Bail Rotary, with automatic cup removers, and in shed meal feeding. In the 2014/15 season Clareview was completely reformatted to improve the farms efficiency and management ease.
Grazing land adjoining the Ashburton River has been redeveloped into the platform in consultation with its owner Environment Canterbury. Clareview’s next exciting project is to develop a wetland.
