Description
We are a new, developing Eco-village a community of earth-focused humans with a few non-humans. Working on regenerating what was a dairy farm to create a sanctuary for bird life and bio-diversity abundance. Already we have extended the native forest surrounding our river that flows to the Kaipara harbour and planted a huge vegetable and flower garden. We host great potluck dinners regularly and a few awesome dance parties. Couples or an individual, any gender and age welcome.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Be part of our community, and have the opportunity to meet a truly diverse and fun group of caring grounded people. Epic conversations and concepts abound. We are bringing about the change we want to see in the world. Where people thrive and nature flourishes. Enrichment happens through sharing cultures your and ours, meals and socialising. Gain practical regenerative and permaculture skills. Live and learn in the outdoors.
Help
There is always a variety of things to do on the farm, gardening, planting native trees, firewood or taking care of animals. We would love to be more self-sufficient so your help would be appreciated. Some jobs are physical and just take time like mulching and weeding/tree finding. Other tasks could involve gardening, tree planting, animal care and cleanup sheds etc. Basic building skills could be used for making planter boxes or fixing fencing. Someone is always around to teach and guide but ideally, you will be self-directed and physically fit.
