Description
Hello I'm Ben, I live here I'm the beautiful Torere bay at the start of the east cape on the north island. here we live a beautiful life creating on my families property. My parents started working for the land in the 90's and we mostly grow food and do a lot of woodworking and more on the property. Torere is a very special place and has amazing nature to explore.
Currently I am building my home and working through the creative process of making that happen, I love having new ideas come from meeting people from around the globe and sharing my space and the happiness it brings me with a wider community. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in Torere Bay, and the local iwi or tribe is Ngai Tai. Frequently there are events happening down at the Marae, or in the area, if you are interested in learning about the Māori culture, I am happy to share what I know, and introduce you to others who have much more knowledge on the subjects. In this area we enjoy fishing, diving, having campfires on the beach which is great for swims.
On our farm, we have a vast array of tasks that need to be done. If you are interested in learning how to be self-sufficient, we can show you what we know. -
Help
I would love help with a number of projects but we can also discuss and choose where we want to spend our energy.
currently I'm building my place and I would like to do earthen walls internally as well as extending a bathroom area and a green house area to the front of the house.
I also like to build furniture and create some cabinets and shelving for my house.
There is also plenty of gardening to do as well as food gardening. -
