Kia ora and welcome
We spend our days passionately showing children, parents and the community where their food comes from, and how to eat nutritionally well through after school, holiday and food workshop programmes.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMME
As part of a small group, children will have one on one exposure to daily life on a small farm. They will acquire life skills that will give them confidence for the challenges in today’s world.
HOLIDAY EDUCATION PROGRAMME
An outdoor interactive Holiday Programme where children can be children with nature, our farm and family life. There is the opportunity for horse riding, interaction with our animals, gardening and food production.
SCHOOL ECE FIELD TRIPS
Our ECE School Trips are outdoors and interactive. We cater to children of all ages from day care through to high school level.
AGRICULTURE PROGRAMME
Gardening Clubs, Community Groups, Private Education Providers
If you have a specific area of interest such as gardening or probiotic foods, let us know.
TIME TO ACT NOW!!
Calling on friends and whanau of Teacher in the Paddock
Our current lease is ending imminently (a couple of short weeks!) and we need to find a new site as soon as possible.
We need your help to ensure we can continue to deliver our important services and support that are changing the lives of whanau and tamariki for the better.
We are looking for land in the Western Bay of Plenty. Our ideal is 20 to 50 ha, with dwelling/s, outbuildings, bush, clean running water, pasture suitable for grazing and horticulture. We are after a bigger site than we’re currently on as it will enable us to grow our programmes so we can reach more whanau and tamariki. We know what we’re doing works and our community needs this.
Can you please help us connect with people who may have land available or those who may have networks and connections to landowners in this area?
Please share this with your friends, talk to anyone you think can help, send us any suggestions.
We welcome any thoughts or questions.
With gratitude, Kevin and Jane
Food Workshops
Fermented foods used on a daily basis restore all the good bacteria and organisms that we need in our gut and intestinal tract, promoting friendly bacteria. These foods are what are known as functional foods and are very probiotic.
