  Description

  Welcome to the farm!
  
  We are three families, living alongside each other, slowly and intentionally establishing a land-based community together.
  
  We are…
  * Hannah H, Sunai (5), Aruni (2), Koa (0)
  * Hannah L,, Norah (5) and Ida (2)
  Jessica, Inca (11) and Pearl (9)
  
  Together we live on 53 acres of land in a beautiful, rural landscape in Fairburn. The land consists of rolling pastures, big limestone boulders, native bush, and 2 rivers for exploring. Located within 20minutes of Kaitaia, Peria and 30 minutes from Doubtless Bay. It is 1.5hours drive to Cape Reinga.
  
  Our three families have come together with a shared vision of living a simple life on the land, surrounded by beautiful nature, connected to the elements and guided by the cyclical rhythms of a nature-connected life. We love the abundance that comes from living in community - sharing meals, childcare, tools, resources, and many good times.
  
  Each family has their own space on the land where we live and are creating gardens/food forests. We both have quite simple (slowly expanding) dwellings including outdoor showers, fire baths and compost toilets.
  
  Both families like to cook wholesome meals using food from the garden or local markets. We eat a lot of vegetarian meals, and some of us also eat meat.
  
  Aside from our individual dwellings, there is a large amount of communal land which we intend to use for communal crops, regeneration and other communal projects. On the communal land we have a beautiful 30square meter yurt which is our communal hub - a space for sharing time together and with the kids, as well as for yoga, meditation, circles and workshops etc.
  
  Collectively, we share a range of interests including permaculturally-minded gardening, foraging, travel, music, building with natural/salvaged materials, dance, yoga, meditation, breathwork, surfing, bodywork, wo/men’s circles, herbal medicine, arts and crafts, conscious communication/relationships, menstruality… and so on ;)
  
  Our current animal residents include 2 horses, 2 dogs and plenty of chickens!
  
  There is cellphone reception but it is patchy and limited.
  
  Some of the shared values of our community are:
  * Respect and care for the land and all beings
  * Recognising the interconnectedness of all things, honouring the sacred and spiritual
  * Care for others, generosity and reciprocity
  * Self-responsibility - a willingness to look honestly at ourselves and our contribution to the difficulties we experience in life, and a desire to learn and grow alongside each other
  * Conscious communication, vulnerability and authenticity
  * Freedom and autonomy - respecting each persons right to make their own decisions, within a context of care and consideration of others
  * Care for self - free of abusive use of drugs and alcohol
