Description
I have a syntropic agroforestry system. 10 acres plus run a yacht charter business out of Russell, Bay of Islands so get quite busy in summer months. Happy to teach travellers now to sail and explore the islands. The main help I need is on the property in the food forest. Accomodation is a tiny home. Compost toilet and outdoor shower. All off grid . I have Chooks, big garden and plenty of kiwi around at night!
