Chris, who had served his time with Farmstar as a technician, had left to join the family business – this in fact was part of the reason for the acquisition of Stone Farm - when he was tragically killed in an accident at home. Across the years through the many trials and tribulations associated with farming the dairy herd grew to its present level of 150 head of Holsteins and Holstein x, producing some 7,000 litres of milk PA. In 2007 the family needed to look at the long term future at a time when – as now - milk prices were falling and making a living as a dairy farmer was getting harder and harder, with no government help on the horizon.
