Where the story began
Remember the days when milk was delivered in glass bottles at your doorstep? The cream settled at the top, and everyone fought for the best bit.
Bringing back the taste of milk as it “used to be” is where the Kaipaki Dairies story began. Founded in 2021, the business set out to give New Zealanders access to premium dairy in sustainable packaging.
Early batches went to local farmers’ markets. When people tasted the milk, word began to spread. An idea built on real milk, real care, and making a real difference began to grow.
Today, the full operation is located on the Bardoul family farm. The family have been farming on Kaipaki Road for more than 30 years, on a beautiful 200-hectare block in the heart of Waikato.
Since its founding, with the incredible support of its customers, Kaipaki Dairies has expanded delivery of its milk from Hamilton to the wider Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Auckland.
