LivinginPeace Permaculture
The LivinginPeace Project incorporates a 7-acre permaculture farm, which is currently under development. The objective of the farm is to provide our guests with seasonal, locally grown organic food meals everyday. An abundance of top quality, enzymatically rich, nutritious and fresh produce will be harvested daily and crafted into exceptional, delicious, healthy lunches and dinners for Karamea Farm Baches and Rongo guests.
Jungle Tour: Ecological and Environmental Learning
Tours of the farm will be conducted daily to show guests where and how their food has been grown and to provide interested people with information about organic agriculture, companion planting, composting techniques, soil nutrition, permaculture design and principles.
A simple café/gallery/restaurant will be built in the centre of the farm and guests will be able to enjoy a locally grown, freshly harvested, organic meal looking out over where their food was grown. The restaurant will be established on a no-waste model, designed to maximise energy efficiency and built with minimum environmental impact.
Permaculture design courses will be conducted in the winter months to encourage people to come and stay and learn about the theory of permaculture and then have the opportunity to see permaculture in practice and learn the practical side of permaculture on the LivinginPeace Farm.
