Mangaroa Farms is a resilient community food hub and education centre with 2000-acres of living laboratory for transitioning dairy and pine into regenerative agriculture and native forests. The market garden team produces fresh organic produce available from the farm shop, increasing localised food production while building healthy soil and microbial systems. The farm backs onto 500+ acres of native old growth forest and 700+ acres of pine being regenerated as native forest, while pasture-raised livestock provide fertilizer to enhance soil health and biodiversity. Mangaroa Farms regularly hosts volunteer days and workshops to share knowledge and provide educational experiences and community connection.
