Mangaroa Farms Open Day

  • Mangaroa Farms 98 Whitemans Valley Road Upper Hutt, Wellington, 5371 New Zealand (map)
Mangaroa Farms Open Day - March 9th 2025
from NZ$0.00

It’s that time of year again — in collaboration with Open Farms, we’re hosting the 2025 Open Farms Day at Mangaroa 🎪

Our last event in Nov 2024 was our biggest yet with over 1000 people coming down - and this time, we’re looking to break that record. Our signature garden tour tickets sell out quickly, so be sure to book through our website to not miss out.

Show up for lunch and a tour, or just pop in to see the stalls, do a little shop, and enjoy some live music with the whānau.

Mangaroa Farms will be putting together a lunch including our famous smoked lamb buns topped with Mesclun salad straight from the gardens + our Mangaroa beef / lamb sausages on the BBQ. Vegetarian options will also available.

🙋 Volunteer - We're looking for a team of volunteers for the day - apply here: https://airtable.com/appDIln1BhHOpmsbH/pagDVdQDmh6g67LFa/form

The Farm Shop will be open as normal from 9am - 5pm, featuring fresh produce from the gardens, meat from our pastures, and a range of local suppliers & our latest merchandise available for purchase on the day.

📍 Hosted at the Mangaroa Farm Shop / Kete Kai 98 Whitemans Valley Road
