Kia ora, welcome to our productive home garden and lifestyle block
We are home gardeners, lifestyle block farmers and permaculture designers. Our goal is to inspire and educate others to grow their own food, build resilience and get the most out of their land.
​
We specialise in home garden, food forest and lifestyle block design. Using the principles of Permaculture we strive to create productive, energy efficient, regenerative lifestyle blocks and homesteads.
ABOUT US
Living lightly on the land, embracing sustainability and self-sufficiency, gives us a clear sense of purpose. Each day brings tasks - watering seedlings, moving livestock, feeding chickens - but we don’t see our lifestyle block as a “life sentence.” Instead, it’s a freedom to grow our own food, harvest seasonal fruit, and raise livestock, all while maintaining responsibility and care. We take a holistic approach, where everything is interconnected.
​
Our philosophy is shaped by Permaculture principles, which have guided us in designing our property for maximum productivity with minimal inputs. Shane completed a Permaculture Design Course in 2016, the same year we bought the block. Using our property as his coursework project, we still refer to the design for inspiration as we plan future projects. With a clear vision, it feels less like work and more like the realisation of our lifestyle goals.
UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
Our workshops and services are engaging and hands on. You will leave with the practical know how of what to do next on your block, no matter how big or small.
