World-renowned for coining the term “nutrient density” when it comes to growing food, we recently had the pleasure of hosting lifelong organic farmer Dan Kettridge in our maara / gardens. #mangaroafarms #nutrientdensity #lifeinsoil

Our Mangaroa lambs getting a fresh trim — making sure they stay cool and comfortable over summer. Wool that doesn’t make the grade for fleece gets recycled into mulch, feeding the garden and enriching the soil – a full circle of care.

🚨 NZ Food Safety wants to raise glyphosate limits in wheat, oats, barley & peas — up to 100x higher. This herbicide is “probably carcinogenic” & linked to gut issues, yet they want more of it in our kai? Nah. ✊ Submit now: oanz.org/new-blog/say-n… #glyphosate #mangaroafarms

The tipi was buzzing with good energy last weekend as we gathered for a day all about compost. Lots of conversation was shared, flowers foraged, and our guests left with full hearts. 🌻 #compostday #mangaroafarms #regenerativeagriculture

Overgrazing isn’t about having too many animals — it’s about not giving the land enough rest. That’s why we’re big fans of timed rotations. Move the mob, let the grass bounce back. 🌱All about timing, trust, and respect for the whenua’s ability to recover. #regenerativegrazing

🥦 Fun fact - frosts help make our veges taste sweeter! ☃️ Root vegetables, brassicas and leeks actually perform better nutrition-wise during a frost, becoming sweeter and tastier by producing more sugar in order to tolerate a lower temperature without freezing. #mangaroafarms
