Kahikatea Farm 

We are lucky enough to be kaitiaki of 16 acres which we have been designing and planting according to permaculture principles since 2005.

We are using organic, regenerative and syntropic techniques to convert bare land into productive gardens, silvopasture, horse track (paddock paradise) and food forest, as well as the nursery of course, which is nestled amongst it all!

We love to share our knowledge and grow our community through courses, workshops, tours, open days and volunteering.

Kahikatea Farm Nursery

In our certified organic nursery here in Hawke’s Bay we grow around 400 species of perennial vegetables, culinary and medicinal herbs, pollinator and pest control plants, shrubs and trees – everything you need for your permaculture system in a one-stop online shop – including NZ’s largest range of medicinal herbs.

Place your order online and we’ll ship it out anywhere in Aotearoa New Zealand!  

We invite you to find out what we do,

to share our journey and this beautiful place for a moment.

We hope you may be inspired to join us on a tour or course,

or to choose some of our plants to add to your own garden or food forest.

Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
