A small family-run market garden on a tidal arm of the Kaipara Harbour, at 336 Wharehine Road in Tauhoa, north of Auckland. It grows its produce with natural inputs and no harmful sprays, and its packaging is home compostable.
The main lines are salad leaves. A mixed leaf salad and a babyleaf with edible flowers are available year-round, and a butterhead leaf and a flower mix are too. Miner's lettuce with rocket, coriander and dill are grown in the cooler months, and Blue Lake runner beans in summer. The garden also grows salads, greens, beans, little tomatoes, zucchini and snow peas. Its produce is sold at the Matakana Farmers Market and at stockists around Auckland, and the website has a stockist list.
Customers say the leaves taste fresh and last longer than other salads, and they praise the quality and the flavour of the lettuce. Some write that they now buy only from this farm. The business is in Tauhoa, and it grows for Aucklanders.
