Our story

At Haven we know every baby and every parenting journey is unique. Something one family finds easy, another might find more challenging - and that’s completely okay. What we do have in common is that we all want to give our babies the very best possible start in life.

Haven believes a little extra care can go a long way in those important early stages. Our mission is to provide not only a high quality New Zealand-made A2 protein formula and toddler milk drink that is gentle on little tummies, but also be a sanctuary for parents and caregivers to come together to have honest conversations about parenting.

Our belief is that no one knows your child like you do, so you and you alone are best placed to make decisions about their livelihood. Haven aims to provide an open platform where parents can explore choices and information to find your own formula for raising your child.

Understandably mothers and caregivers are becoming ever more discerning and careful about their product choices, especially when it comes to feeding their baby. It is important to Haven that we’re able to provide clear transparency and traceability around our product, so you can feel assured about what is going into such a critical nutritional product for your little one.

Haven uses only high quality NZ A2 protein milk from free range, grass-fed cows sourced at select South Island farms. Located at the foothills of the untouched Southern Alps, these West Coast farms boast one of the most natural environments for its animals, with fertile soils from the unique climate, and clean air that is far away from urban development. Our A2 protein milk is full of homegrown goodness you can trust.

By scanning the trust codes found on every can, you’ll be able to find out more about your Haven product and where it has come from.

A2 Protein Explained

A2 protein milk comes from cows that have A2/A2 DNA and which produce milk with only the A2 beta-casein protein type and not A1. The origins of A2 protein producing dairy cows date back to the very beginnings of dairy farming.

While New Zealand milk is famous globally for being produced by grass-fed farming systems, with sustainable practices and stringent quality controls, our supplier farms also follow strict product safety measures and rigorous testing standards to ensure A2 protein milk purity. Only a select few farms meet this high standard of compliance.
