Beschreibung
There are three family households living on our organic lifestyle block in Tahekeroa 40 minutes north of Auckland City. I live alone in my house though my two young grandchildren and their parents who live just 5 minutes down the road are frequent visitors. My mokos (grandchildren) often stay the night with me. We are surrounded by native bush and farmland. We have large vegetable, herb and flower gardens, chickens a cat and an orchard and woodland to maintain as well as regenerating native bush. I work onsite in my workshop manufacturing herbal products made from many of the plants I grow. I also work at our local marae in my health clinic using homeopathy and rongoā Maori using our native plants as remedies. I love to share about our Māori culture and language.
There are occasionally working bees at the marae which would involve being welcomed on through the powhiri/whakatau process if this was of interest.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

I am an active member of our local marae and am a speaker of the maori language. There can be opportunities to have an authentic cultural experience depending on what is happening at the marae. I like to share our kiwi culture as well, I will usually spend a day or two depending on the length of their stay, taking my guests (if they don't have their own transport) to some of our beaches or bush tramping walk if this is of interest...I love cooking and eating our own home grown produce...when the seasons permit.

I (Trish) work mainly from home making organic health products with most of the active ingredients being grown or sourced here at home. We always have tasks to do in the gardens particulary, weeding, weed-eating, pruning, mulching, chainsawing, stacking, chopping firewood etc. I usually spend 1 day each week at our local Marae in Silverdale where we have regeneration planting and gardening projects underway there also. The main pressing projects I am needing help with currently are maintaining the orchard and gardens, firewood and clearing invasive weeds etc. To have chainsaw skills would be wonderful as we have some trees that have been felled by the power people. These would be cut into rounds, chopped into pieces and stacked.

The closest public transport is from Silverdale/Orewa, which is 20 minutes distant. There are many fabulous beaches and regional parks all along the East coast including Whangaparoa peninsula, Waiwera, Orewa, Wenderholm etc. Puhoi historic village is at the other end of our road. Having your own vehicle would be best to enable local sightseeing. We have had wwoofers and workawayers visiting for many years now and they have all enjoyed the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere here. We do work hard but we also take time to relax and enjoy our time off.
