Description
Our five-member family is keen on growing fruit and veggie produce, we keep hens, sheep and we run a holiday accommodation in Kaikoura.
Staying in a self-contained unit right next to us, you can experience an everyday life of a fresh-kiwi family. As we moved to NZ seven years ago, coming from Prague, Czechia, our family is bilingual /english, czech/.
For last five years we have been growing our own produce, especially veggies, while learning about specific NZ round-year growing conditions. We are keen on compost building and we keep around forty hens for eggs and couple sheep.
