OPEN DAY:

He mihi nui ka tika | THANK YOU ALL for a successful Open Day event.

We sold out of our Kamokamo Chutney and nearly 100% of our Rongoā products - but the best part of all was having our whānau and community up here with us.

He Tipu - Puawai te Ora!

Karawhiua e te whānau

Site Operations:

Yesterday’s main site operation at He Tipu saw 3 x certified contractors carefully work to fell a Single Tall Red Gum tree that was growing next to our Grow-houses, putting them and our people who will eventually work within this area at significant risk of damage or injury.

Prior to any major operation, He Tipu developed a Job Safety Analysis and Tree Felling Instruction to ensure that all Health and Safety compliance were followed.

We’d like to take the opportunity to thank our certified Tree Fellers, Joe Wall and Joe Skeen for their wicked chainsaw skills, along with assistance from certified machine operator, Albert Wall and Roger Flintoff A.K.A Moppy who managed the Cherry Picker and Tractor to help with the clearing. Special mention also to one of He Tipu Director’s, Moananui Rameka,
who stood as Safety IC. Job well done by all! Watch this space for Firewood updates coming soon…

Many Thanks to:
