This historic farm has been in Harriet's family since the 1850’s with the current children of picturesque Lavericks Bay being the seventh generation. A 1000-hectare sheep and beef farm, regenerative farming principals are working their way into daily running of the property as the family strive to leave the land a part of a thriving eco-system.

 

Lavericks Bay, which formed part of a volcano over 6 million years ago,  is located within the Eastern Bays on Banks Peninsula, and is under 2-hours’ drive from Christchurch. It is just over half an hour from the beautiful historic French settlement of Akaroa.

 

Since the self-sufficient first settlers arrived there have been fires, floods, droughts and many a good year, all testing and shaping the character of those that reside in the bay.
