AOTEA FARM
One of New Zealand's oldest Organic Farms
Aotea Organic Farm is a 400+ acre organic/biodynamic farm situated on the edge of the Kaipara Harbour, one hour northwest of Auckland. We have been pioneering world class organic farming practices for over 30 years.
Aotea Farm is unique and diverse with a range of species and habitats beyond traditional pastures. The virtually free-roaming sheep, cattle & emu are stress free, enjoying few boundaries and pastures of the highest purity. An exclusive Dung Beetle operation works to further enhance the soil.
The property is also home to forests, crop plantations, beaches, waterways, ponds and fish farm where the wild mullet breed on the harbour's edge; providing fertiliser to the farm's crops.
Due to its exceptional sustainability and integrity in chemical-free farming, Aotea Organics has been awarded the prestigious Hua Parakore label.
