The Wairarapa Eco Farm was born out of a desire to produce quality food with ecological integrity. Our farm is situated on the Tauherenikau Plains in South Wairarapa. We bought an empty patch of land in 1996, and with our ecologically solid principles, we planted windbreaks and olive trees, built up the soil, and designed and built our alternative green home. The farm has grown from bare paddocks into a secluded oasis amidst a grass desert and possesses the vitality we had dreamt of. Over the past 25 years, we created our very own micro-climate, which has given us the opportunity to grow a wider variety of crops for another project in the making.
