New Food Forest Tours Initiative

The Foodforest Tours project at www.foodforest.tours is in the process of being incorporated with the National Kai Resilience Portal project. All information and updates will now be available through the new portal at https://www.kairesilience.food/food-forest-tours-nz/.

Website under development – expected operational launch September 2025

Here at the Vector Group Charitable Trust, our commitment to kai resilience and building a food-secure community in Te Puke has never been stronger. Under our Grow Te Puke banner, we’ve been working tirelessly to create a local food system that is abundant, diverse, and accessible to everyone. Today, we are thrilled to announce our latest initiative designed to help you connect with the land and the people who cultivate it: a brand-new directory and booking website for Food Forest Tours.

This new platform is your gateway to a world of sustainable living and hands-on learning. It’s more than just a website; it’s a hub for community connection, education, and exploration. The site is a central directory for all things kai resilience—a place where you can easily find and book tours of local food forests, as well as discover and register for a wide range of events and workshops.

Have you ever wondered about syntropic agroforestry, or how to grow your own perennial garden? Now, you can find a workshop tailored to your interests and connect directly with the experts and passionate growers in our region. Our new platform makes it simple to discover everything from composting workshops to harvesting seminars, all in one easy-to-use location.

This project is a direct reflection of our core mission: “Your journey to a sustainable plate starts here. We’re dedicated to helping you discover local food forests, connecting you with nature, and fostering resilient communities. Join us in cultivating a healthier, greener future, one harvest at a time.”

By providing this tool, we hope to empower you to take the next step on your own journey toward a more sustainable lifestyle. We invite you to explore the new website, book a tour, sign up for a workshop, and become an active participant in Te Puke’s vibrant and growing kai resilience movement.
