A massive thanks to Richy Carr from Independent Contractors Ltd for building the greenhouse for Waitara Foodbank - Pataka Kai

We think he’s pretty awesome and he’s done so much for us around the farm.
And an awesome earthmover when he’s not helping out others too! 😍

We can’t thank Richy from Independent Contractors Ltd enough for volunteering to build our brand new green house for us!

In fact he didn’t want recognition at all and tried to blame his lovely wife for his do good attitude.

Sorry Richy, here’s a MASSIVE thanks, whether you want it or not. lol 😂

We could never have achieved this ourselves , (well maybe but it wouldn’t have looked like this 😂).

Richy and Karla also own Six Acres Farm, who have supported us in many ways over the years and we are extremely grateful for!

This wicked greenhouse was purchased with funding from Toi Foundation (Te Aho Poutiaki fund), and we got it from Redpath who were amazing to deal with and gave us a great discount.

Thank you all! What a community!

Let’s get some seeds grown for Spring! 🌱

Collard greens are a Southern American cuisine favourite. A staple in places such as South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and Virginia, you’ll find these traditionally slow-simmered with garlic, butter, bacon, or smoked ham hocks. The robust leaves soften with slow cooking and create a rich pot liquor.

You can also shred these into a winter slaw, sauté or stirfry.

Best off all, they provide a real nutritional hit, being high in Vitamin K, as well as Vitamins A and C, calcium, and dietary fibre.

You’ll find these in our chillers and bright and early Thursday morning.

Wondering what to do with kohlrabi? It’s delicious in our homemade coleslaw. Simply peel and grate a whole kohlrabi, grate some of our organic orange and purple carrots, and add your favourite dressing.

We served ours tonight on fresh buns with beef Pattie’s, cheese and burger sauce. Delish!

If you’ve never tried kohlrabi, then head to or and pick up a bag of this delicious and versatile vegetable.

We love it grated in autumn coleslaw, or try roasting it, pickling it or a delicious winter soup.

It’s best when about the size of a tennis ball, and doesn’t have to be peeled. Super delicious, nutritious and full of flavour.

Farm cat Sprinkles has personality plus and loves playing under the shadenet, as well as hiding and waiting for any unsuspecting pests that might wander her way.

While weeding or prepping a bed she makes herself known with a distinctive meow and expects plenty of attention in the garden.

Fine autumn days are her favourite for enjoying the garden, rolling in the sun and soaking up the warmth.

Farm cat Sprinkles takes her rodent control job very seriously. Even ripping through the silage covers to find and conquer the mouse. She has mastered the art of ripping the plastic the spitting it out so she can extract the mouse from its hiding spot. Many hours… many holes… many mice no longer in the garden.
