Growing Coffee Beans

https://www.ikaruscoffee.co.nz/

Following a dream of living on a coffee plantation a young man and his wife planted 700 coffee beans on a two and half hectare property in Pekerau Hills in Northland.

There were difficulties early on but these were overcome after a visit to a coffee festival in New Calendonia and learning of a particular species of coffee tree best suited to Northland conditions. Their beans are now sold throughout NZ and overseas.

Activities on offer:

- Land use evaluation
- Science of coffee manufacture
- A life story
- Living a dream
- Rewards from hard work
- Coffee bean tree growing
