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 are a (sometimes daughter - Melissa now travelling)/ father team near Te Mata, just South of Raglan, with rolling hills, streams and native bush. We are developing the farm with a Regenarative approach using a mix of Biological/Permaculture practice and are looking for ecologically but scientifically minded people. Work includes planting, fencing, weeding etc. We need people handy around a construction site, decks, painting, carpentry..We're vegan/vegetarian. We speak English, French, Hebrew, and Spanish, a smattering of German and Dutch, we are inclusive and welcome differential abilities, LGBTQIA/Rainbow/Queer and neurodiverse friendly.

General Information
You can add extended general information about your property
Right now we are focusing on expanding our market crops, and implementing IPM. We grow avocados, grapes and various veges depending on the season.

Some of our long-term projects include increasing the biodiversity on the farm by riparian planting (stream edges), fencing off big native bush blocks, exploring ways to make the farm both an ecological paradise with the ability to make a living as well. 

In time off WWOOFers can check out the waves at Wainui (Ngaranui) beach or Manu bay in Raglan. Happy to lend a surf board.
