About Mangaroa Farms - Market Gardens

A regenerative farm and community food hub beside the Mangaroa River in the Hutt Valley, at 98 Whitemans Valley Road in Upper Hutt. The website describes a 2000-acre working farm that is turning dairy and pine land into regenerative farming and native forest, with the farm backing onto more than 500 acres of native old-growth forest.

The farm shop and Kete Kai are open Tuesday to Sunday, selling organically grown produce and pasture-raised beef and lamb, as well as local artisan foods. Lamb loin chops are listed from $19.95 as at 2026, and diced beef from $15.50 for 500g as at 2026. Meat can be ordered online for North Island delivery. An honesty fridge outside the shop is restocked daily and open around the clock, and payment is by cash or bank transfer.

Garden tours, workshops and events are held through the year, and the yurt and kitchen host wellness events and private functions. Accommodation is offered as eco-luxury farm stays. We hear the annual Spring Festival is on Saturday 31 October from 10am to 3pm, with live music, kai, workshops, farm demonstrations and walking trails.
