On the Land — Issue 12 (September/October 2026)
Our spring issue, led by a cover story about turning beauty into a livelihood: a busy mum who needed a viable income from her land and built it an unexpected way, with a regenerative, pick-your-own flower farm.
Inside this issue:
- Tara of Wildwood Farm on why flowers proved a more lucrative crop than food: how she made it happen, her tips for getting started, and what she grows through the seasons.
- A Bay of Plenty couple carving out a homesteading life and running workshops that combine traditional craft and te ao Māori.
- Growing and cooking perennial vegetables from a food forest, the crops you plant once and harvest for years.
- Finding bush kai, in an extract from Sam the Trap Man’s latest book.
- Processing roosters with Gillian Swinton: the honest, practical job nobody teaches you.
- The quiet craft of making a hunting bow entirely by hand.
- Your seasonal growing guide for September and October, as spring wakes the garden.
- Plus our regular columns and, as always, much more.
