Mangaroa Farms recently featured in Issue 11 of @ontheland_mag in an eight-page spread about the farm and the question it keeps asking: what does the land want to be?

The article covers the 1,200 acre project holding a market garden and orchard, a farm shop, a sheep and beef operation, local events, and 700 acres of pine in transition back to native forest.

On The Land looks at the people on the ground at @mangaroafarms, from the farmers who are restoring soil through adaptive grazing, to the team simultaneously opening an on-site butchery to serve the local community - to the market gardeners to the shop keepers, and the storytellers & events team - who can all trace their relationship with the project back to the soil.

For Mangaroa Farms, the measure of success is simple: if the Mangaroa river is healthy, the team knows they are doing a good job.

Issue 12 features:
- Tara Benedict's @wildwood_farm regenerative pick-your-own flower farm in Taupō on the cover,
- @kiwihomesteaders - a Bay of Plenty couple teaching traditional craft alongside te ao Māori
- Growing and cooking perennial food forest vegetables with @permadynamics
- Forage bush kai with @sam_the_trap_man (an extract from his new book)
- Processing roosters with @gillian.swinton
- Growing brambles with @thefoodfarmnz
- Crafting a hunting bow with @threycameronarchery
- Making liquid feed with @edible.backyard

From December @ontheland_mag becomes a quarterly seasonal journal.

Last week we hosted two Farm to Table dinners as a part of @wellyonplate - a Field to Feast experience with delicious kai created by garden/chef master @slugbuffet, with a real focus on local food. All veges and meat came from the farm, and most of the additional ingredients provided by local suppliers.

The two sold-out evenings took a journey through connection, story, and education as people sat, ate delicious kai, learned about where it came from, all the while serenaded by the sweet music of @casual_healing. The feedback was exceptional, and we're excited about expanding into new dining possibilities at the farm.

Our beloved radish microgreens are now certified organic through @organic_farm_nz - a big milestone for the farm as it's our first organic certification. A big thank you to Cam and Tyler for seeding and nurturing these little ones, and the certification process.

Small veges, big standards. Grown in living certified-organic soil and harvested just across the paddock from the Farm Shop / Kete Kai.

Our recent Farm to Table dinner was a hit - delicious kai provided by our mate @tjstarling , with support from @tyler_langerveld @slugbuffet

Fresh lamb rack, broccoli literally harvested that day from about 20m away, and a gorgeous sunset to round off the day. Looking forward to more of these when the season is right - stay tuned on our newsletter for more.
