About

From Water Pumps to Cowsheds - We're Your Trusted Partner for Farm & Rural Services

At Northland Farm Services, we provide expert solutions for farms, rural living and beyond. Whether you’re in horticulture, beef and sheep farming, food production, lifestyle blocks, or the hospitality industry, we have the knowledge and experience to support your unique needs. From water systems and effluent solutions to milking machinery and trenching, we help keep your operation running smoothly.

We’re proud to be a part of the Northland rural community, supporting artisan growers, makers, and local businesses with reliable, high-quality services.

When you work with Northland Farm Services, you’re choosing a team that understands the challenges of rural life and is here to support you every step of the way.

Our emergency breakdown service is available 24/7 - farms don't stop, neither do we. In the case of an equipment breakdown after hours (because let's face it, it always happens in the dark), our team can be on-site, to get you back up & running.

We're proud that our team members volunteer across the region, involved with Young Farmers, Federated Farmers, Northland Fieldays, and dedicated volunteers with the Hikurangi Fire Brigade, reflecting our deep commitment to helping the region thrive.
