What We Grow

The land at TOAD Hall has a long history of nourishing the community. From traditional kūmara plots to the days of Fry’s Fruit Bowl, this has always been a place where food and connection grow side by side. Continuing that legacy feels like the natural path forward.

Our Approach

The Way We Grow

Over the past 17 years, we’ve added hundreds of tonnes of organic compost and Biodynamic preparations to the soil, working to restore and enrich the land while removing invasive weeds and waste.

Growing Resilience

Food Security

Today, you’ll see the fruits of that labour — literally — in our store and on your plate in the restaurant. It’s a project that continues to evolve, and we’re excited by all the possibilities still to come.

Garden to Table

Where It Goes

We grow lots of the produce we serve and sell right here onsite in our large organic market garden whilst also valuing our local growers and producers in order to trade fairly with them and, in turn, bringing you the freshest, healthiest local fruit and veges, berries, artisan food products and meals to enjoy.
