The Farm

In the 1980’s the original dairy farm was converted into orchard and market gardens. The initial planting of kiwifruit and persimmons were followed with the planting of limes, oranges, and grapefruit. In subsequent years feijoas, macadamias and heritage apples varieties have also been planted.
