Today, we speak to Raewyn van Vugt who operates a dairy farming business with her husband Rob in Otago. 

Raewyn grew up on the West Coast of the South Island, as a  coal miners’ daughter in a small town called Reefton.  In 1991 she moved to Inch Clutha with her husband Rob, where their farming enterprise started. 

Raewyn has been heavily involved in her community, being a member and Treasurer of Plunket, Playcentre, PTA, and involved with the local discussion group, Large Herds Otago Committee and a Networker for Fonterra. She is also a member of the Inch Clutha RW and is currently the Regional Leader for Region 1. 

Raewyn gives some tips for any aspiring farm owners, details her experiences going from a single mum to operating a successful farming enterprise with her husband, and helpful ways to get involved in your rural community!
