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 weekly fresh produce grown with organic principles, increasing localised food production through building healthy soil and microbial systems. The farm backs on to 500+ acres of native old growth forest and 700+ acres of pine being regenerated as native forest, while pasture-raised livestock provide rich fertilizer to enhance soil health and biodiversity. Mangaroa Farms regularly hosts volunteer days and workshops to share knowledge with the community.
