Marphona began in 1983, as the dream of founder Bruce Pulman.
Where once sat an idle block of rural land, Bruce imagined something more; an organic dairy farm that put the planet first, respecting the land, animals and people that made it’s produce possible.
With this dream in their pockets, The Pulman family and their supporters set to work, converting this unproductive piece of Managatawhiri land into one of New Zealand’s leading organic farms.
OUR PRODUCTS
Today, their journey continues.
A farm, market and cherished destination for all, celebrating nourishing organic produce, community and a shared journey toward a sustainable future.
From dairy and meat to eggs, field-honey and more, Marphona’s traceable produce is a favourite of baristas, butchers and health-conscious kiwis around NZ.
Come and visit us, just over the hill from Auckland and experience the pure goodness Marphona has to offer.
A Labour of Love
When The Pulman family arrived in Auckland’s Mangatawhiri, the land they’d purchased was unworkable, covered in old tree-stumps, logs, sticks and little else.
But where others saw wasteland, the Pulman’s saw endless potential. Space for a flourishing dairy farm, with lush paddocks, cared for animals and the ability to produce truly nourishing nutrition.
After 40 years of collective hard work, Marphona has grown into the farm it is today.
Proudly 100% Organic
Marphona is proudly organic; a holistic farming system that strives for sustainability first, prioritising the health of the soil and waterways, surrounding flora and fauna, animals and our diverse community.
Certified by IFOAM, we’ve worked hard to meet their specifications as a farm that relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and adapts to local conditions rather than inputs that have adverse effects. An IFOAM-certified farm combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment, promoting fair relationships and good quality of life for all involved.

The Freshest Produce
With a processing plant on-site, we’re able to ensure our organic produce goes straight from the farm to your plate. This means our dairy is extra fresh, tasty and full of goodness, easily traced back to us at Marphona.
Bottling at source has other benefits too and many baristas insist on Marphona milk for their flat whites and lattes as they swear no milk makes a better foam.
A Destination For All
The Marphona journey is just getting started. Soon to produce organic beef, eggs, fruit, veges and honey, we want Marphona to be a place for all to come and enjoy the organic produce on offer and the lush rolling hills of our farm.
