  Descripción

  Rod and Jane live on a regenerative stock and crop farm near Martinborough in the South Wairarapa. Along with developing their own native and productive garden their main projects is restoring with the help of volunteers a large wetland and a riverside walk at the the edge of the farm. They also run an environmental education project for schools. Jane's 101 year old mother Yvonne also lives in a house on the farm. She is a great storyteller and loves to meet new people. We have a large garden and are also involved working with others to grow vegetables for the wider community.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We sit at the heart of a recently formed Catchment Group, which will give you access to remnant forest and wetlands both on our property and along the river.
  We are committed to respecting and implementing the dual heritage of the partners of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi). You are welcome to join us at the Waiata practice held most Mondays at Hau Ariki Marae in Martinborough.
  From April to September, we host monthly volunteer mornings followed by a shared lunch.
  You have the opportunity to be involved in our education programme runs 2-3 mornings a week, except for school holidays from May to October. This is an arts and conservation programme for local schools delivered on and around the farm .
  Along with practical conservation activities creative writing, art , singing and sitting still in nature is an important part of what we offer. We welcome your participation and are happy to support you if you would like to explore the reflective / meditative side of our mahi on your own.
  From November to May we are actively involved with the local food growing network. Depending on when you are here will have the opportunity to be involved in two 'Carb Clubs' ... low impact, low input community growing, held here at Farm and in Martinborough hosted by the local food bank. You are also warmly welcome to join Monty's Monthly, a community meal hosted by Vagabond Veg.
  In February we hold the Sunflower Fest, where we are open to the public for farm walks, an outdoor concert and harvesting sunflowers which are sown as part of a multi-species cover crop which is part of our regenerative farming practice.

  Alojamiento

  Volunteer accommodation is in a recently restored farm cottage that we call 'Jacks Hut' because of it's history. It has a main room and kitchenette, a porch, an attached bathroom and toilet. For heating their is a wood burning stove and an oil heater . There are two divan beds with draws underneath that can be made into a double bed.
  All food will be provided. Breakfast you will prepare for yourself. Most evening meals we will eat together in the main house and on occasion if you would like we can provide food for you to cook or bring a meal over to Jacks Hut. Lunch will depend on what projects we have on and whether or not we are doing tasks together.
