    Our family has two Organic Farms, one in Napier and one in Taupo. We live 30min North West of Taupo and about 10mins away from Lake Taupo which is great in the summer to go swimming, it is also approximatly 1hour to the Mountains from our farm which is also great if you are into skiing and snow-boarding in the winter.

    We are a family of 6, my parents own the farms and myself and my two brothers and sister all live and work on the farm.
