The Cocks family on Mt Nicholas Station runs 29,000 merino sheep by working with nature. The farm has rich biodiversity - from native forests to thriving lizards and native falcons. “It’s a nice way to farm,” says owner Kate Cocks. “There’s no reason the farm and the natural environment can’t co-exist.” It’s another way ZQRX wool growers give back more than they take. #GiveMoreThanYouTake #ZQRX...

At Mt Nicholas Station near Queenstown, you won’t see or hear a motorbike - all the stock is moved by horse or on foot. “You don’t need to fill them up with fuel and the horse pretty much drives itself,” says wool grower Kate Cocks. It’s another way that ZQRX growers give back more than they take. #GiveMoreThanYouTake www.discoverzq.com/zqrx

Now Grant thinks of himself as a “soil farmer” and he’s measuring and improving his farm’s carbon sequestration. That’s what ZQRX is all about - giving back more than you take. #ZQRX #GiveMoreThanYouT...
