Description
We are Brendon and Michelle, a couple that decided 3 years ago to move out of the Auckland rat race and opt for a quieter rural lifestyle. We are on a Regenerative Beef & Permaculture lifestyle farm. Our vision is to create a diverse healthy thriving ecosystem to benefit nature, ourselves and our community. Since moving here we have had 2 children and have renovated a wool shed which we now call home. We have beef cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens.
