Description
On the Land — Issue 11 (July/August 2026)
Our July/August issue, led by a cover story you won’t read anywhere else: a Canterbury project growing the world’s oldest fabric from seed and naturally dyeing it by hand, a quiet rebellion against fast fashion.
Inside this issue:
- Two Canterbury women growing the world’s oldest fabric, linen, from seed, and dyeing it by hand with plants they grow themselves. Their goal: New Zealand’s first homegrown, naturally dyed clothing, and a quiet rebellion against fast fashion.
- A regenerative farm, community and education hub near Upper Hutt, where growing food and teaching others to do it go hand in hand.
- An off-grid wellness retreat near Raglan on land nobody wanted.
- How to turn your kitchen scraps into rich worm castings with a simple bucket worm farm.
- One grower’s path to real food sufficiency, and the community she’s built around it.
- A wander into the strange and beautiful world of fungi.
- Your seasonal growing guide for July and August, framed around Matariki.
- Plus our regular columns, including practical advice from our vet, and Alesha Tomasi on Gavin, the goat she takes hunting and is training to be a pack animal.
