Introduction
Describe your property and the projects you need help with. The character limit helps it to fit on mobile devices and the printed book.   /2000

We live in a small coastal village, 1 hour north of Wellington, a perfect base if you'd like to also explore Wellington region.

We have a large garden, which we use regenerative, biology first principles on to be self-sufficient in vegetables and eggs year round.  We instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thegreengardennz/ so this is a good place to check our place out. 

We eat varied and colourful vegetarian food and are passionate about cooking, which you will benefit from when staying here!  Our place is set two blocks back from the beach, so when you aren't helping in the organic garden, you have extensive beaches to swim at and explore.  There is a fabulous sauna in the garden to enjoy at the end of your day!
