There are five dairy farms around them who are not so lucky and some haven't milked since Friday.
"It is a flow-on effect, as if you can't milk the cows then you can't feed the calves," said Craig Grant.
The neighbouring farms have been moving their cows down to their shed just so they can be milked.
Although the power outage has caused many problems the Grants said it has brought the family closer together.
"With no television the kids actually have to socialise and talk," Carly Grant said.
Playing board games and cards under candlelight has become part of their evening entertainment.
The Mackintosh family is another without power and Emmet Mackintosh, 9, has taken to outside activities to fill in his time. Yesterday instead of wanting to watch television he built a small bridge in the garden.
Cooking is also an everyday struggle with the family having to cook on top of the fireplace. They are living off an easy diet of toast, eggs, spaghetti and pancakes, which Alexandra, 11, and Emmet said was the best part of having no power. The Grants are living off a similar diet of toast and Milo.
Both families are managing to cope with the power outage but hope it isn't going to be too much longer. The main road through Tutira got power back on Sunday morning and teams are working on the powerlines up Matahorua Rd.
"The houses below us were lit up like Christmas while we were huddled under candlelight," Mrs Grant said.
Despite the struggle the community remains in high spirits, with the local school coming together for those without electricity.
Yesterday the children baked brownies and a variety of slices, which they took back to their families who remain powerless.
