Escape the noise and smog of the city, and taste luscious freshly-picked organic fruit…
stroll through gardens, orchards, plantations and regenerating native bush…
enjoy stream and harbour vistas…
and, if you wish, take home delicious fresh produce and imaginative preserves to sustain you.

If you’re wanting to enjoy the beautiful and historic Awhitu Peninsula, have a personally tailored ecotour, for a day or a stay.

On the shores of the Manukau Harbour, our 11.4ha diverse subtropical paradise, earthtalk@awhitu, is an hour and a quarter by road south-west of Auckland City, or accessible by boat (www.manukauharbourcruises.co.nz)

Who are we?

We are two middle-aged feminists, Tanya Cumberland and Charmaine Pountney, formerly in leadership positions in urban organisations, now active in the local community, who grow year-round organic fruit and vegetables, heritage flaxes and timber trees. Our speciality is subtropical fruit. Half our land, including a kilometre of streamside, is being restored to protected native bush and wetlands. See our website www.earthtalk.co.nz for further information, prices and bookings.
