No scripts or spectacle. Just open conversation, shared learning, and practical insight into what works — and what doesn’t.

Hands-On Experience
The experience is practical and participatory, shaped by what the farm is working on at the time. Visitors engage directly with growing spaces, materials, and processes where appropriate, with plenty of room for questions and discussion.
Rather than instruction or performance, the focus is on understanding sustainability through real systems, constraints, and everyday decisions on a working farm.

- Winner of the 2025 Electra Business awards
- Finalist in the Green Gold Awards
Led by experts
Tours are guided by Brent Williams & Jude Horrill, founders of MycoBio, with experience in sustainable business, functional food innovation, and regenerative systems thinking.
What to expect?
Each visit is shaped around the group attending, the season, and what the farm is working on at the time. Rather than a fixed programme, the experience adapts to different interests — whether that’s sustainability leadership, community learning, or practical exposure to regenerative practices.
This flexibility allows conversations to go deeper where it matters most to each group.
What happens next
Please get in touch. We’ll confirm availability, talk through your group and goals, and shape the visit with you before anything is locked in.
As seen on TVNZ Country Calendar
Country Calendar visited our farm to explore how mushrooms fit into a regenerative food system — from compost and growing methods through to the foods we make.
It’s a simple, honest look at how we work, and why we do it this way.
The episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at:
-
How we close loops through sustainable growing and food-making practices
-
Yacon being grown and harvested, and Yuzu picked at the orchard
-
New season planting and the slow making of black garlic
-
The making of our Oyster Mushroom Risotto
