Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are passionate kiwis who have been learning about the 3 E's Environment, Energy and Economy and how we adapt our lives and especially how we grow food to meet the challenges we now face and ultimately figure out what it means to be human. We live in an awesome rural community which is welcoming to all who come with a curious positive attitude.

Help
We are a diverse farm with beef cattle, dairy cows, sheep, pigs, hens and friendly dogs as well as an eco lodge where our philosophy is all about reconnecting people to nature through nutritious food. We have planted 135000 trees as part of regenerating the land and restoring the balance between nature and the needs of humans.
