This is an experience of dipping your toes into a new world.
I personally feel that each individual should be ready and up for the challenge, as this is a different and wild place.
We are located 25 minutes *Out* of Raglan on a scenic reserve.
For getting to the farm, we can pick you up from Hamilton or Raglan.
Our focus is creating a high ecosystem that benefits nature, animals and humans, also to be self sustainable along side with outdoors, art, surfing, music and much more.
We have two different positions available.
Please when writing to us give us a description of which position you would like to be involved in and how you would suit this position.
We are detailed people and always go for our best, we have passion for what we do and we are loving people.
