Welcome!
We created this site so that we can share knowledge and information and also sell surplus when we have it. As with all good things and, like our homestead, this is a work in progress which we’ll keep adding to. We hope you like it!
About Winding River Homestead
We are Gail and John and we moved here to this beautiful small Hokianga farm in 2009. Our focus is on creating a healthy, resilient livelihood and regenerating this land with diverse, functioning ecologies. We are passionate about growing healthy food and grow mostly heritage varieties of plants and animals. Soil health underlies everything and we strive to support and create a healthy soil food web.
We have many years of experience of growing food, seed saving, green woodworking and working with animals and the land but are also always learning and developing. We are keen to share our knowledge and skills to help increase community resilience here and to support and encourage others to do the same.
