Marchwood Farms Ltd is an intergenerational family farming business in the Waitaki District of New Zealand which is currently operated by Blair and Sarah Hamilton. Their son Blain also operates a large agricultural contracting business providing a range of specialist services to other farms in the area.

The farms were originally dry land sheep and beef farms and have been converted into two successful irrigated dairy farms with associated support blocks.

Technology has been updated continually on the farms to improve productivity with cows being moved by Halter collars and irrigation now applied precisely across the farm.
