Fishing Weekend on the Farm 10-11th of January

Bring your curious children and adults along and let some very keen anglers teach them how to cast and tie flies. Use a spinning rod and then to make things even more interesting there will be a NIWA scientist coming to talk about fish farming.

It is going to be a fantastic weekend. The activities will start around noon both days.

Earth Camp Kid's Cookbook Announced

The Blueberry Farm hosts an Award Winning Earth Camp each year. This is a family friendly series of activities where children learn about organics along side their parents through hands on activities. The most popular activities usually involve food (surprise, suprise), so this year a childfriendly cookbook will be produced as well during the following Earth Camp Days: 1 Feb, 1 March, and 4 April. The cookbook is being done in conjuction with the development of the Sustainabelly Cookbook Series which feature Cherished Recipes from New Zealand Organic Growers. The children will make the recipes and the best ones will make the cookbook. This activity will also be a fundraiser for the Earth Camp as all images taken by Mandi Lynn of the children preparing the meals for the book will be available for purchase by the family for $40.00 for an 8x10. All profits from the image sales will go towards future Earth Camp Activities. Win - Win.
