Comments: I have a horticulture block 75 kms south of Auckland, mainly growing flowers and foliage for export. The work is varied, but does include weeding, grading for export, and other tasks. An interest in plants is helpful. Anyone who is interested in staying here should also be prepared (keen) to take a turn in the kitchen cooking the evening meal. It is a chance to cook what you may be missing? So if you like good food and are prepared to share ideas you would be welcome. Please contact in advance of wishing to stay. I can collect from Mercer (half way between Auckland and Hamilton on the main Highway). One Boxer dog is also here - outside only.

Comments: We are an Appaloosa horse breeding stud, also run 400 Angus Cattle, and 1000 Romney Ewes. We look at the Bridal Veil Falls, Aotea & Kawhai Harbours, plus out to the Tasman Sea. We do what ever work is necessary for the seasons, eg. feeding out hay to the cattle during the winter, checking the cows for any calving problems, sheep that are lambing, we shear our sheep twice a year, so that means mustering them in, a job that takes up to one week. Our property is very steep, and we use 4 wheel motorbikes and working dogs for the stock work. We do not have any riding horses, but work with the young horses getting them handled, we normally have about 7 mares foaling so that means checking them right through the night. We have three stallions, 2 paddock serve and the other one we hand serve the mares and that can be very interesting. We sometimes work all day eg. if sheep in for shearing, but once the job is finished we have easier days. Accomodation is in our house, with us. We are members of WWOOF & FHINZ, and also have sometimes have paying Farmstay visitors. Reasonable english is required, as working with horses and cattle can be dangerous if english not understood.

Organic Status: moving towards becoming totally organic. Currently some minimal spraying done. Comments: We hire our Centre out to spiritual and local groups working with disturbed teenagers etc. Our long term aim has been to establish a viable teaching centre offering a variety of courses to North West Christchurch. I work from home as a psychologist, psychotherapist and adviser to a variety of groups. Currently we are planting the whole property up with native species. Our bird life has trebled and it is exciting to watch bare paddocks turning into native bush with its own eco system developing. Most work focuses around mowing and weeding around our trees. Recently for instance our wwoofer assisted us in planting 150 native trees and then watering them. Took about three days. We work together on such projects whenever possible.
