Kerikeri Organic is an organic farm 7km south of Kerikeri, Bay of Islands, Northland, and have been hosting willing workers here for 25 years.
We are rebuilding our commercial-size organic market garden. We harvest and coordinate distribution of locally grown and New Zealand wide produce, providing a wide range of organic produce for delivery to individual customers or for sale at the gate. We would like help to apply the biodynamic practices. We also grow seedlings for own use and sale (plastic house).
In exchange for half a day's work, we provide basic accommodation (cabin/caravan, cooking facilities/shower/washing machine etc) and good healthy food from the Organic shop.
There's loads of great tourist spots in close proximity, and we are flexible around your hours so you can have extended time to explore and enjoy the area. Beautiful beaches, bushwalks, hikes, historical landmarks.
Most of the work at the moment is centered around the banana grove, community gardens, seedlings, garlic beds, compost making & orchard maintenance, and includes a variety of tasks.
We also host to a Bush School for home schooled children on Tuesdays and Fridays and "Serendipiday" at the farm on Saturdays, an organic fayre with wood fired pizzas, stalls, music and more. To facilitate this, we are in the process of building permanent structures on site at the Grove, including a roundhouse with a reciprocating roof. .We'd love to hear from you.
