Criffel Station is a working deer and mixed-farming property overlooking Lake Wānaka - where agriculture, environment, and community come together.

Farming has been at the heart of Criffel for more than 160 years. Today, we continue that legacy through high-country deer farming for venison and velvet, alongside ongoing work to strengthen the land that sustains us.

Our approach combines practical farming with long-term stewardship, guided by One Health principles and Nature based Solutions that connect land, water, animals, and people.

At Criffel Station, Land & Life Connected is more than a phrase. It reflects a way of farming that respects the past, supports the present, and prepares the land for the generations to come.
