Seeking Land - Ōtepoti Dunedin, Otago

I'm looking for a long-term set-up for 1. trailing and bulking up seed crops for Ōtepoti Urban Organics, 2. growing food, seeds, and seedlings for my family and community, 3. demonstrating best practice gardening. Desired land is flattish, fertile, organic history, good sun and shelter, and with access to good water (not town supply). Ideally also some infrastructure like glasshouses or sheds would be fantastic.

Land Available - Hastings, Hawke’s Bay

We are on a flat 10 acre site just 5km south of Hastings in the Hawkes Bay. We are running organically but are not certified. There is an established market garden onsite and loads (literally truckloads!) of organic materials available including woodchip mulch and chicken litter. We have processing facilities and shedding which can be shared. There are horses and a mix of tree / animal / garden / activities all happening on the farm. We are lacking people resource to take advantage of the opportunities. My ideal situation would be to find business partner/s to continue creating a thriving business around the farm. There is already a knowledgeable and hardworking person employed in the garden 30 hours per week, but this is not enough to keep up with the growth we are experiencing.
