MANGARARA STATION

GREG HART | MANGARARA STATION

Mangarara (The Family Farm) is a 610 hectare/1500 acre hill country farm in Elsthorpe, Hawke’s Bay. It has been stewarded by the Hart family since 1990.

The farm is a diverse mix of lakes, wetlands, peat flats, rolling and steep hills, pasture, native and exotic trees. Like a living organism, it is constantly evolving!

The evolution of this land and community has really sped up in the last 15 years, towards a regenerated, connected landscape and people.

“We are at a really interesting time here on Planet Earth, and it’s often said that the next ten years are going to be critical for thousands of years to come. I really do think that humanity is waking up to possibilities and the potential, recognising that we are part of nature and we have a roll to play which can be part of the healing” - Greg Hart
