A Dream is Coming True

What is this all about anyway?

Ever since we started the Earth Camp 3 years ago I thought that we should write a book about it.  A book that showed all of the cool things that we do on the farm with the kids to help them learn about the environment and that actually featured the clever and oh so curious kids that we get to hang out with in the summer.  We are passionate about New Zealand, passionate about the Earth, and want very much to save it for these kids grand kids, so we think a great place to start is to share what this farm has been kind enough to teach us.   So this year we are going to do it!  Welcome to the first entry in our blog about the book in the making.  This is a book for Kiwi Kids, featuring Kiwi Kids, and written by a Kiwi by choice.  The cool thing about this book is that it will not just benefit Kiwi kids, but as a way of showing our appreciation to one of our founding members of the Earth Camp, we will be donating a portion of the proceeds to pay for a teacher for a Sherpa Village in Nepal.

It is a book about our World Famous in Wellington Earth Camp

You will roll the soil through your fingers, chase butterflies through our meadows, smell the heady deliciousness of our sweet peas, taste the hot fresh organic baking made with love in every bite, create a master piece of all natural art, hear the sounds of the forest and sing a song in return....it is going to be an absolutely wonderful feast for the senses.

The perfect excuse to roll down a grassy hill and settle into a soft patch of green with your favourite silly sausage.

This Book Will Educate a Village!!!!

Those that are familiar with our farm will know that it has become such a wonderful place thanks in a large part to Nima Sherpa, the wonderful Nepalese Sherpa who left his village in Nepal and brought his family here and helped me to  realize our dreams at the  Blueberry Farm.  He is wonderful and has taught me so much so as a thank you for his kindness and support, and also repay his village for the kind loaning of such an important member of their community.  I am going to donate the proceeds from the sitting fees to help pay for the salary of a teacher so that the children of the village don't have to make the decision to leave their families and move a three days walk away just to attend Intermediate.
