MAGS Farm is an 8.1 hectare working farm at 40A Alberton Avenue in Mount Albert, Auckland. It is part of Mount Albert Grammar School, and it has livestock and a classroom centre. The farm educates about 160 students a year, from Years 10 to 13, in agricultural and horticultural science and agribusiness.
The farm has been part of the school since 1932, when the land was bought by a bank and leased back to the school at a peppercorn rent. The bank has since gifted it to the school in full. An advisory committee, with representatives from the Ministry for Primary Industries and industry partners including KPMG and Fonterra, is helping to develop the farm. The MAGS Foundation is fundraising to enhance the land. Planned work includes improved fencing, pasture, drainage, irrigation and land management, and native plantings along cleaner waterways. The school's phone number is +64 9 846 2044. For anyone interested in farming careers or the primary sector, the farm's teaching role and its planned redevelopment are the main things the website describes.
