Be a part of it...

As I mentioned in my last post I have been humbled by the responses and comments to my posts and blogs about the move. But I have also been impressed with the amount of ideas that have been suggested for the farm. From vineyard to nut orchard and even a very innovative water powered pig on a spit, they are all great ideas. [caption id="attachment_78" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Now this is an idea under serious consideration.[/caption] I love the idea that Woody's @ North Manakau is a collaborative journey between us and our friends, family and basically anyone (hopefully one day our customers are also included). So I thought I would make the request for ideas official. If you have an idea or have always wanted to try something but don't have enough land at home then why not make a suggestion. We want a farm that is diverse, informative, enjoyable and local. Apart from the free range pigs I am planning to smoke and cure meat, breed goats and chickens and sell eggs, have tours and educational visits, arrange cookery lessons (don't worry I will not be the cook) and have farm lunches by the stream. Hopefully one day we might also have a 'glamping' site in the woods at the end of the block for you all to come and stay. But I am sure these are just some of the things we will end up doing. So what are you waiting for, whatever you are thinking right now, however wacky and zany, just drop me a line and lets see if the idea sticks to the ideas board in my head. As I said before; from little things, big things grow. Now I have to go and start packing, its only two weeks to the big move....
