    Description

    We are a family of four living in beautiful Waipu, Northland, New Zealand. Come and join us, and our dog Ziggy, on our 10 acre lifestyle block where we are passionate about organic and regenerative food production. Waipu is one of the most beautiful parts of New Zealand, with amazing beaches, walking tracks and world class surf only minutes away.

    This is our home, not a commercial farm.

    Help

    We'd love help with establishing and maintaining our food forest and veggie gardens. We also have chickens and cows. There are always little building jobs to be done on the property so someone with the interest and skills to get involved in that would be a bonus.
