DOING GOOD FOR OUR COMMUNITIES
Inspired by the philosophies of famous American industrialist and philanthropist R. G. LeTourneau, the founding directors dreamt of establishing a business for doing good in the community.
Farming for good
The Trinity Lands trusts have a common theme of generosity through personal sacrifice – freely giving time, capital and providing security that, at times, comes with huge personal cost. Our purpose is driven by faith and a shared objective of never tiring of doing good in our community.
We manage the land for our beneficiaries, utilising a long-term window.
Today we farm
7,400 ha
of Dairy land.
16,000
carring around 16,000 of livestock.
Kiwifruit
In 2000, we saw the opportunity to diversify into kiwifruit.
Leaving thriving assets for future generations
We are focussed on being a responsible landowner – to leave assets which are thriving to benefit future generations.
While our focus is to support community organisations, we are also committed to supporting our farming staff to grow in agriculture. Our grandparents were skilled farmers who loved to share their knowledge with those new to the industry.
How we do good
It is our great privilege to be able to fund excellent community-run programmes, enabling enthusiastic and hard-working local groups to support those who face challenges.
Donating to all sorts of organisations
Our focus reflects modern New Zealand – a vast world of different groups involved in excellent community work. We donate to all sorts of organisations, working hard for all sorts of causes.
