A Thriving Working Canterbury Farm

Breeding quality Texel Sheep and Murray Grey Cattle across 650+ hectares since four generations

Four Generations of Farming Excellence

Murray Downs Farm has been in the same family for over four generations and is currently owned and operated by Sarah Rodie and her family. The farm operates across nearly 650 hectares as a pedigree breeding and finishing farm.

We specialise in Texel Sheep and Murray Grey Cattle, and also have Red Deer on site for venison production. Our commitment to quality breeding and sustainable farming practices has made Murray Downs one of Canterbury's most respected working farms.

Experience the farm firsthand with our authentic farmstay accommodation โ€” a unique opportunity to stay on a real working farm near Christchurch, New Zealand.
