About Mangaroa Farms
Mangaroa Farms is a resilient community food hub and education centre, serving as a living laboratory for transitioning from old dairy and pine forest to a thriving food basket, native forest ecosystem and community education centre. Our philosophy centers around sharing our journey and knowledge with our wider community, fostering a deeper understanding of regenerative land management and localized food systems.
The Living Systems Masterclass embodies this philosophy by offering a hands-on, immersive experience in regenerative practices. Through expert-led workshops, interactive sessions, and collaborative projects, participants gain valuable insights and practical skills to apply in their own contexts.
Instead of monoculture land use, chemical inputs and other nasties that degrade our precious whenua, we need localized production systems that work with nature to enhance our ecosystems. By understanding and mimicking Earth's natural cycles, we can create a harmonious flow where the output of one system becomes the vital input for another - a truly regenerative and sustainable approach.

✅ Garden (market or forest) establishment basics.
✅ Mulching
✅ Tree design

Why Now?
In this great transition of earth and our relationship, upskilling in regenerative land stewardship and ecological awareness has never been more valuable. The Living Systems Masterclass is designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration needed to contribute to a more resilient future and foster a reciprocal relationship with the earth. We hope you’ll be inspired to build out a garden of your own, connect to a local ecological project, or share these tools with somebody else.
We’ll be running this event annually, and it’s likely to sell out, so we’d love to welcome you to this year’s event before it fills
We can’t wait to welcome you to Mangaroa Farms and join you on this journey of regeneration and discovery.
