AwaRua® Nutrition products are made with premium A2 Milk.
Unlike regular milk, A2 milk contains only the A2 type of beta-casein protein and doesn’t include the A1 protein that can sometimes cause digestive discomfort for certain people.
Because of this, many people find A2 milk easier to digest and gentler on the stomach, which may help reduce issues like bloating or inflammation.
One of the first things people notice on our farms is how rich the soil looks and how lush the pastures are. The streams run free with clear water. It’s not by chance.
The difference between traditional and our farming is not what is added but what is left out. Our farming is more environmentally friendly. It enhances the health of the air, water, soils and animals through sustainable farming practices and it uses proven practices that help soil and water conservation and is safer for our farmers. And it produces happy, healthy cows.
Our Grass Fed Standard
What we feed our cows is the reason our AwaRua milk powders are so creamy and delicious. It’s all about well-fed cows.
Our AwaRua® Grass Fed Standard, which promotes pasture grazing that allows cows to forage for their own food, is applied to all our farms. That means only milk provided by these AwaRua® farmers is manufactured into our AwaRua products.
AwaRua® dairy farms are predominantly pasture-based so our cows, thanks to our temperate climate producing good grass growth most of the year, are 365 days grass-fed. They enjoy a diet made up of a minimum of 85% grass, grass silage, hay and forage crops.
When winter chills or hot, dry days slow grass growth, we use pasture management and supplement feeding, generally with Fodder Beets that are often grown on the same farm, to ensure our dairy cows remain healthy and are well cared for.
During their lifetime our AwaRua® dairy cows will source most of their food directly from pastures. However, when they are young calves and up the first year of their lives, we help them grow big and strong by adding extra nutrition to their diet.
Our Cows
If you were to follow one of our AwaRua® dairy farmers as they brought their herd in for milking you would immediately notice the care and affection taken by that farmer towards his cows and in return you’d see the relaxed, gentle nature of his cows. They may look similar to cows on a nearby farm, but look closer and you will see bright eyes, shiny surface hair, and good overall condition. Our cows are our livelihood but they are also part of our farm family, they have their own personalities, and we treat them with respect.
