Meet Mark, the Farm Manager at Oakdale Farm.
With more than 25 years of farming experience, Mark brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to Oakdale Farm. Originally from South Africa, where he farmed both dairy animals and sugar cane, Mark later moved to New Zealand and transitioned into dairy goat farming.
As Farm Manager at Oakdale, Mark oversees the day-to-day operations of one of Baby Steps' largest supplying farms, ensuring exceptional standards of animal welfare, milk quality, and farm management. Farming is very much a family affair, with his daughter, son-in-law, and son all involved in supporting the farm
