Operations
Flo & Jen Coetzee
Equity Managers
Flo is originally from South Africa and came to New Zealand in 2003 on a working holiday. He worked on dairy farms in the North Island and met Jen who is involved in medical research and sets up clinical trials.
In 2013 they decided a shift to the South Island would help move their dairying career along. Through Farm Manager and Contract Milker roles around Canterbury, Flo gained the experience before taking on a 50/50 sharemilking role.
Flo and Jen joined in partnership with six other shareholders to become Equity Managers of Highveld Pastures, a farming operation they now call home.
