Crystal Springs Farm is a small scale organic farm on 4.8 hectares, fourteen kilometres from central Whangarei. There is avocado orchard, market gardens, a variety of fruit trees and two home cows. There is beautiful native bush on the property, with pure spring water, stream and swimming hole.

Saturday is market day( optional to come) and Sunday may go to the beach or bush and usually light the wood fired sauna. Food is simple clean wholefood vegetarian excluding eggs, onions and garlic. Everything is made from scratch so it is helpful if you know how to cook. Yoga lifestyle.
