About Our Holistic Farm Consulting Services
Holistic Farm Solutions is based in the Waikato and is owned by Pierre de Villiers. As a sustainable agriculture consultant, Pierre looks after animal health, feed requirements, including probiotic animal feed for overall herd health etc, while also trialing new products that he feels may benefit the industry. Pierre works to create a whole picture of health and well-being. Both are committed to improving health from the soil up.
Using the concept of the soil, plants animals and people being a whole, I work to bring health and balance into the equation for all aspects of this holism, therefore Holistic Farm Solutions.
The aim is not to 'sell a product', but rather to understand the issues and challenges and then working from the large 'Toolbox' of available products in our range - I seek to overcome the challenges and improve overall outcomes. These include environmentally friendly fertilisers, both solid and seaweed based liquid fertilisers.
In my experience, most pastures can grow more grass. The aim is to increase production of high quality, nutrient dense pastures and crops.
I draw from a number of trusted suppliers to achieve the results that we are seeking to achieve using 'Best Practice' from a biological rather than a conventional standpoint.
Holistic Farm Solutions product portfolio includes high quality seaweed based liquid farming fertilisers, animal health products, beneficial microbes for both soil/plant and animal health, environmentally friendly solid fertilisers where required as well as smart fertilisers such as biochar and zeolite.
Holistic Farm Solutions also work with ZorbiFresh to reduce odour and moisture in farm animal bedding
We provide agricultural consultancy services for cow, goat and pig farmers as well as soil, pasture and horticulture consultancy services. These environmentally friendly agriculture practice consultations are ideal for farmers seeking to enhance sustainability, improve productivity, and promote eco-friendly farming methods.

Pierre is an experienced animal scientist with 32 years comprehensive experience in the dairy industry, dairy management, dairy nutrition and animal health. As an animal nutritionist he is also extremely concerned with the feeds produced and pasture quality, consideration for the use and management of soil, soil health and organic soil amendments are a natural spin off from that. After completion of his degree in animal Science at the University of Pretoria (South Africa), he worked on an avocado and citrus orchard, before entering the world of dairying. While employed as a nutritionist with a feed company he also completed his honours degree in Agrarian extension.
Pierre is an ardent researcher and will not rest until he has turned over every aspect of available information before documenting and presenting a new technology.
