FARMING
Lindis Crossing Station (Lindis Crossing) and Marylands consist of three properties in Tarras, Central Otago.
Spanning across more than 1,200 hectares, these farms are centre pivot irrigated via the Clutha River/Mata-Au, ensuring consistent feed supply year-round. They primarily finish beef and lamb, with a particular focus on supplying the winter market.
