Motueka - Atamai eco-village

Our friend Paul whom we travelled with for a week or so in Australia told us a lot about this eco-village. We have decided to experience some wwoofing over there.

Joni's house.

Joni is in charge of the gardens and has been a wonderful host for a week.

Yes Julie, you can be proud of your work!

The nights were cold. After work, it was time to chop some wood.

Joni is not only a great gardener, he is also a good cook.

All the vegies are from his garden, obviously.

...and at sunrise.

We loved to get some vegetables (pumkins, leeks, onions, potatoes, letuce, carrots...) for dinner.

I also made a rhubarb crumble, maybe the best crumble I've ever made!

Ca c'est pour toi Maman!

Organic pizza from Julie.

The village's goats.

Another wonderful organic meal : a green pumkin soup.

Thank you Joni for making us feel like at home during our stay with you and for sharing your knowledge with us.
