Description
We are a small Organic farm (7 acres) close to beaches in New Zealand North Island. It is fairly central to several tourist towns and exploration destinations. The farm has dairy cows, sheep, bees, and chickens and a small veggie garden. We can teach you Organics and nutrition and you can learn about all the different animals. We are interested in cultural exchange, but while you are here we would appreciate your help so you can learn on the farm and the farm buildings and in the garden so there is no restriction for you even sometimes need help in the house and on the computer. We have had many people visit us over the years and enjoy the experience. We are an older couple whose children have flown the coop and we have an easy going lifestyle.

The help in the dairy was challenging but rewarding, an unforgettable experience.
