  Description

  We’ve designed our certified organic farm using permaculture design principles and follow the ethics of Care of the earth, Care of people, and distribution of fair share.
  
  While tidying up the farm you will have the chance to see permaculture in action. If you are here for one of our weekend course session ( we teach the PDC) you are welcome to sit in and meet other like minded folk.

• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We can answer any questions you have on small scale gardening, sowing seeds, preparing beds for transplanting, transplanting, weeding, mulching, crop planning, and more. The work will however be farm and house maintenance, and cooking.

  Help

  We need help with farm maintenance, keeping the property looking good as we prepare for selling it. You will be involved with clearing weeds, cutting grass. We also need a cook to remove that task from our day and give more time to prepare the place.

  Accommodation

  You will have your own room, with either two single beds, or one double.
  
  We can provide food as long as you eat what we eat, meat, veg, coffee, tea. Happy to try and cater for vegetarian diets but for anything else its probably best you look elsewhere.

  What else ...

  there is a beautiful black sand beach 15 min drive from us. We are 2 hrs from coromandel, raglan, hobbiton, waitomo, and more. An easy weekend away. Although we will do our best to bring you to the train or bus station your own transport is very desirable.
  
  We are unable to provide for a vegan diet.
