WWOOF with PermaDynamics
Hosted by PermaDynamics
About this space
Come and live and work with our multi-generational family on our syntropic food forest farm in Matapouri, Te Tai Tokerau. The trust land we live on was previously a sheep station of degraded compacted steep clay slopes smothered in kikuyu grass. Since then we have grown our roots alongside the thousands of trees we've planted. Our main syntropic food forest is two acres and home to over 350 different plant species, consisting of a diversity of fruit, nut, biomass and native trees. Along our more fertile flats, we have a no-till, organic market garden interspersed with syntropic tree rows and various examples of temperate syntropic orchards. We have an array of permaculture systems functionally interwoven together; a massive greenhouse, workshop, animal overnight stables, compost systems, mushroom production stations, wood fired fruit dryer, various earth buildings and teaching spaces. We also have a tree nursery supplying start up food forest growing material. WWOOFers help in the market garden and food forest, with earth building, food preserving, the animals, mushrooms, sawmilling and firewood. If you are not self contained, we ask for about 6 hours a day. In return we share lunch and provide organic ingredients for your other meals. You sleep in our sleep-out, your tent or your own van. Wherever you are on your regenerative growing journey, we welcome you.
