Anyone interested in sustainable farming or growing organic fruit and veges should head to Matakana on February 23, when Rainbow Valley Farm will be holding an open day.
Established on run-down farmland by Trish Allen and Joe Polaischer more than 30 years ago, Rainbow Valley has become a renowned centre for permaculture over the years.
The farm is currently owned by four people – Stephanie Fink, Richard Legg, Matthew Luxon and Waveney Warth – all keen to build on its legacy for future generations.
The team recently passed a significant milestone by bringing Rainbow Valley Farm produce back to the weekly Matakana Farmers’ Market, just as its founders had when the market started 20 years ago.
They have also started selling organic produce boxes via online subscription, with weekly EV deliveries of seasonal veges, fruit and herbs in the Matakana area.
The open day will take place at 588 Matakana Valley Road on Sunday, February 23, between 10am and 12.30pm.
