An inspiring, positive, data-driven, human, and good humoured film about Adaptive Multi Paddock grazing (regenerative agriculture), and its beneficial impacts. I’ve watched many films on this topic over the years, and this one beats them all! I was moved to tears seeing what is and what can be, so I got in touch with the filmmakers in the US and secured permission to screen it all around New Zealand.
A regenerative agriculture resource
This regenerative agriculture resource is continually evolving resource.
It is for farmers and growers dipping their toe in the water of regenerative agriculture and all it has to offer, and for those who are curious or maybe even doubt it can work in their context. This resource is not intended to answer all your questions, but it will certainly give you plenty to explore, put some wind in your sails, and offer jumping off places for your next step.

Tonight in Whangarei, 19 people came out for an evening of food forest inspiration, and went home having witnessed the miracles that are possible when we work with nature and let her show us what she’s capable of!
The next Film Night will be held on Friday, May 8th in Helensville.

See you there!
There was a surprise in store this afternoon as I went through the Food Forest seeing how it had been impacted by the high winds in that storm last week. Look what I found…
Arthur corrected me: That looks like the butterfly ginger James, not Myoga.
Hedychium coronarium, often sold in NZ as Galangal as it looks similar.
It is far more vigerous than galangal but the roots are mildly toxic. The flower buds and flowers are supposed to be edible but I've not tried them.
At this open day (Apr 11) in Mangawhai, you’ll see a Food Forest that is just six months old. Arthur and James will share how we prepared the land and the design thinking behind the planting.
It’s a chance to get familiar with the diversity of plants that can go into a system. See how they perform. And notice the difference between the rows that had different degrees of preparation.

A total of 24 people attended the morning and afternoon tours of the Food Forest systems at Twin Falls Nursery.
There was an abundance of questions for as we explored the original system and compared it with the more recent Syntropic inspired designs.
There was generous sharing of the experience and the knowledge gained over the last 12 years. At the end of each tour people took advantage of the abundance of seedlings from the nursery.
The next field day will be in Mangawhai on April 11th.
