Come and get a guided farm tour at KoruKai Herb Farm. Meet the team behind KoruKai and get your questions answered.
On KoruKai Herb Farm everything is grown spray-free and organically with an integrated pest and disease management. We measure the nutrient density in our vegetables and herbs with a Brix meter and do microbial soil analysis on a regular basis to help us with decision making.
You will see a range of our garden and fertility set ups. We have a large composting operation and produce 4-5 tons of compost per year. We make Johnson Su Compost, thermal compost, vermicast as well as extracts and teas to feed our plants.
We implement permaculture principles wherever possible trying to close the "loop". We have a Permculture Design Certificate with Geoff Lawton. We have a reed bed for grey water, a composting toilet and use water harvesting techniques like swales on contour on our hilly block.
We keep Wiltshire sheep, ducks, chickens and weaner pigs. We have a Jersey house cow and transform the milk into butter, cheese and yoghurt.
The tour finishes with probiotic refreshments and herbal teas.

Inspirational Visit
Thank you so much for the awesome visit to your farm. After a scenic drive out to your amazing property we absolutely loved looking around and learning so much about all the different plants. It really brought to life so much of the organic learning we had done in theory. Also appreciate you answering all our questions. A wonderland to visit.

Farm Tour
Thank you for sharing you and your family's journey with us. You have accomplished magnificent feats on your property and you are an inspiration.
Thank you especially for sharing the mistakes and mishaps. Too often an inspirational working farm like yours can seem unobtainable to us lay people. Through sharing your learning curves, you remind me that mistakes are merely that - an opportunity for learning, and that we need to keep at it.
Kudos to you and your family and all the best for the future.

Thank you!
We so very much enjoyed hearing how you got the farm going and why you do what you do. I’ve already made the suggestion to two others that they should really go. I’d go back in a heartbeat. Hope to see you on campus sometime!
