Description
We are on a small property midway between Invercargill and Riverton, Southland. We are beginning our second season developing a garden based on the principles outlined in JM Fortier's 'Market Gardener' book blending in methods used by Richard Perkins. We are interested in restoring healthy soil using only local, organic inputs where possible with a holistic approach. We have learnt a lot in the last year and are happy to share that knowledge with others.
We are a family of 7 with five homeschooled children aged from 8-19 years of age. We run a small home based business as well as running a few sheep and chickens on our homestead.
Our property adjoins Big Lagoon, a QEII covenanted wetland with a diverse ecology and approx. 40 minute return walk. -

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We aim to provide a natural NZ family experience. Living adjacent a restored wetland gives a unique experience around pest control, native planting and see some native birdlife. We currently have a trial market garden plot where we are experimenting with the tools and techniques outlined in the book 'The Market Gardener' by JM Fortier. We aim to have our guests experience and try first hand as many of these techniques as possible.

We feel really fortunate to have had Tess stay with us for around two weeks. Our house can be busy and noisy and fairly chaotic and Tess got to experience it all! She was super helpful with the children while we were busier than normal with work and they really benefited from the time she spent with them. From board games to music to cooking and

Clara and Nora stayed with us for almost a week. They were great with the kids, clean, tidy and respectful. It was a wet week, so not so much outside work but they were happy to adapt and help with the kids and other inside tasks.
We really enjoyed having them stay. They were bright and bubbly and fitted in well here.
They are welcome back anytime.

We really enjoyed having Chelsea stay. She got on well with the kids. Very clean and tidy. A great independent worker. Chelsea helped de-tangle our strawberry plants from their many runners which was a big job, clear thistle, and daily watered our tunnel house and gardens and checked on the hens. A highlight was the Swedish pancakes Chelsea made

Each morning I had to feed the horses, to water the garden, to pick some fresh vegies, to weed a bit, to thank the chikens for the eggs. I also helped Kylie in the house
