Earthwise Valley

Thames,

New Zealand

Earthwise Valley offers an opportunity for members and visitors to step out of the mainstream world and explore ways of living sustainably, to lighten our ecological footprint - a way for travelers to give something back to Nature, while still experiencing some of the best adventures and sharing life with locals.

We are located next to the sea where the rainforest meets the deep blue Pacific Ocean.

Our efforts to live more sustainably include permacultural food production - with organic gardens and fruit trees, ducks & geese, experimenting with earth building techniques, timber plantations, adopting renewable energy - micro-hydro and solar panels.
