Gently sloping paddocks and lush, green grass. Wild virgin bush and rugged, untouched hill country. Ice blue rivers, breath-taking alpine backdrops… and the most majestic Red Deer you’ve ever seen.
This is Peel Forest Estate.
-
We’ve been farming deer on this 7,000 acre expanse of pristine New Zealand countryside for more than three decades. In that time, we’ve turned Peel Forest Estate into the largest red deer stud in the world - a global leader in red deer genetics, and a major force in the venison, velvet and trophy markets.
At the heart of everything we do is a relentless commitment to innovation, a deep-rooted respect for our animals, and an unbridled passion for our work. Put simply, Red Deer is part of who we are.
