Kia Ora welcome to Akaroa
Organics.
Our organically grown products are produced on the side of an extinct
volcano overlooking the tranquil waters at the head of Akaroa Harbour.
The seaside village of Akaroa is 10 minutes drive away with Christchurch
being just an hour's drive away. The stunning outlook down over Akaroa
Harbour and around the cliffs of the former volcano, and the various
micro climates, are dominating first impressions.
The property is now a place of forest hues, sky blue and sea green. Established
in 1989 the property is just under 50 acres or 20 hectares. Originally
consisting of just four bare paddocks, there are now over 10,000 trees
planted, native bush remnants fenced, a predator programme and an eco-source
planting programme implemented. Native bird-life abounds with kereru/native
pigeon, piwakawaka/fantail, titi pounamu/riflemen and pipipi/brown creeper
all found here. Around 1/3 of the property is under high value timber
production, 1/3 is retired from grazing and the final 1/3 continues to
be grazed or is in commercial production of crops.
Akaroa Organics is being developed to reflect our belief in an organic
future for New Zealand.
We look forward to working with you to grow the organic approach in New
Zealand.
Ka kite ano - until we meet again. |
