Greetings fellow readers, We are gearing up to move to the "soon to be ours" land at Atamai eco-village. We finally decided which land parcel we were interested in, and it turns out Katie and I preferred Lot 6 the most. You can see the lot numbers here is Atamai's stage one development. Katie and Alysha standing in the middle of Lot 6, westerly views to the distant mountain ranges in Kahurangi National Park. Here is a view looking at a north western view, encompassing Lot 6. Being the early birds here we could choose between Lots 5, 6 or 8. Lot 8 has amazing views but Lot 6 has a larger platform and more privacy nooks, as well as two stream boundaries - making it the choice for us. Lot 5 was taken off the market so it can be enhanced further. This includes an additional platform and a horse shoe lake. However this meant that we weren't able to afford it because of the increased price tag - dang! Easements are currently being registered with LINZ, and

The days are short and time is flying. We move out of our rental by mid September. How exciting if not a bit trepiditious, what adventures will we face next. Sobering it is to think that this time last year we hadn't yet fathomed moving out of Christchurch, let alone be living in an eco village in Motueka. We eagerly await our next chapter, moving to our land and building our new life. We have spent the better part of the last few weekends shifting stuff out from our garden shed back into our container . Seems like a pointless exercise, but I assure you there is a reason to our madness. Our landlord has decided to purchase a large garage which will be located in the position of our shed. Hence we had to relocate all the items in that shed to somewhere before we move up to our lot ... aha, the container! But as it so happens, we had already sold our container to a local dude. He was nice enough to let us have the use of it temporarily as we make the shuffle up to our lot, an

Exciting times to be alive and kickin! So much is happening around here at Atamai Village . With the trees bursting with juicy organically grown fruits and the produce box delivery system finding its way into reality, we are getting a steady stream of our food directly from the land around us. This is very gratifying and enables us the tangible benefits of having the bulk of our weekly produce grown locally. We still strive to attain greater levels of self sufficiency as we progress our eco life .  Many villagers have been busy bottling and preserving ripe fruits, which will hopefully enable the summer season to stretch further. We have found it enriching to eat with the seasons, even if at times we have more Basil than we know what to do with - but that's what pesto is for :)  We have also had a steady flow of visitors; both friends from Christchurch as well as visitors to Atamai. Most of the times we welcome them, but other times we just tell them to go  jump in the lake! T
