What we have achieved in our second year of operation
LOCATIONS
Seven Sites
We have piloted and delivered programmes across six unique sites across the wider Canterbury region, from Little River to Oxford, to four sites within Ōtautahi Christchurch. We also bought Bush Farm to Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington. Most of our sites are on public land (reserves and parks). Two are on private farms.
CLIENTS
10 clients for our Chinese Delegation in Wellington in April 2019.
40 enrolled clients for our weekly 'On the Farm' programme for Term 4, 2019.
55 clients (children only) came through our October 2019 school holiday offerings.
57 clients (children and adults) came through our January 2020 school holiday offerings.
Of those, we have about a 70% return rate.
