Mangarara is a regenerative farm and steward of a regenerating landscape in Hawke's Bay, where soil, animals, and people thrive together. The organization is not just growing food but regenerating the land, nurturing life, and building a community grounded in shared values. The farm is transitioning to a farm of the future by developing diverse integrated regenerative farming systems, co-creating ecosystems through tree planting programs, operating an eco-lodge education centre, and opening the farm to the public to enable others to reconnect to the earth. By revitalizing degraded land to delivering nutrient-rich, ethical protein, their beef and lamb embody this ethos, and choosing Mangarara means being part of a movement that heals the earth, supports local farmers, and savors the true taste of nature.

Project story

Regenerating Together: Building a Better Future

Mangarara Farm invites you to join a movement toward ecological restoration, ethical food production, and meaningful community.

This year’s project is to create a new wetland.

We believe that most of humanity's challenges stem from disconnection—from nature, from each other, and from our own deeper knowing that we are all interconnected. Regenerating Together is our answer.

Our vision extends beyond producing exceptional, ethically-raised lamb and beef. We're building a tribe committed to restoring both the land and the human spirit. We welcome supporters to become "Friends of the Farm" through tree-planting partnerships or monthly meat subscriptions, or to join our Agrihood community by leasing land and building regenerative businesses.

What You'll Help Create:

  • Rich, carbon-sequestering soils and thriving ecosystems

  • Healthy, nutritious food grown with integrity

  • A resilient, connected local community

  • Accommodation and education rooted in permaculture principles

  • Empowering proof that individual actions create real change

Imagine sharing home-cooked dinners, music sessions, and meaningful conversations with like-minded people. Picture your family swimming in our lake, exploring native forests, and understanding where your food truly comes from.

One thousand years ago, this land existed in perfect ecological balance. Together, we can restore that paradise—with humans as active, regenerative participants.

Join us. Make a difference. Regenerate together.
