For the Yarrington family of Wingham, New South Wales, dairy farming isn’t just a career, it’s a heritage that stretches back 150 years. Rod and Natasha continue the tradition on the same land generations before them farmed, raising their own children with the same rural freedoms and values they grew up with.
A Life Built Around Happy, Healthy Cows
The Yarringtons’ approach to dairying is beautifully simple: happy cows come first. Every decision on the farm centres around ensuring their herd is happy, healthy, and well‑cared for. Natasha knows each cow by name, greeting “the girls” every morning, while Rod proudly describes himself as the one who grows the grass, drives the tractors, and keeps the whole operation ticking. Together, they make a strong and deeply connected team, balancing roles and responsibilities to create a farm environment that thrives.
Joining Norco: A Co‑operative That Feels Like Family
When the opportunity came to supply Norco in 2019, the decision felt natural. For Rod and Natasha, joining a 100% farmer‑owned, Australian co-operative aligned perfectly with their values. They were drawn to Norco’s strong sense of community and commitment to returning value directly to farmers. They still speak with pride about seeing Norco milk on supermarket shelves, knowing that their hard work is inside every bottle. Hearing shoppers say they choose Norco because it supports local farmers is something they find deeply humbling.
Why Choosing Norco Matters
The Yarringtons hope consumers recognise the very real impact behind every Norco product purchased. When someone picks up a Norco product, they’re directly supporting families like theirs.
Every dollar stays in Australia.
Every dollar supports regional communities.
Every dollar helps keep farming families thriving.
A Legacy for the Next Generation
For Rod and Natasha, dairy farming has given them a life full of meaning, connection, and purpose. They’re proud to raise their children on the land, surrounded by animals and open spaces, just as they grew up themselves.
Their story is one of tradition, love for their cows, and a commitment to producing the best possible milk for Australian families.
And thanks to Norco’s farmer‑owned model, that legacy continues to grow stronger with every purchase.
