The Velskov Method: Regenerative Native Forest Farming

Velskov Method: The Circular System of Forest Farming.

This circular method emphasises how each component feeds into and supports the next, creating a synergistic relationship between conservation and commerce.

Growing Aotearoa's Native Forests

• Description: Dedicated to protecting and growing New Zealand's natural forests through sensory activities and green business events.

• Outcome: Spreads knowledge and promotes sustainable resource and land use.

We are dedicated to preserving and growing Aotearoa New Zealand's natural forests and re-establishing our connection with nature through private and corporate farm visits. These experiences spread knowledge of the local environment and promote the sustainable use of its resources. Our quality venue is available for small events of up to 20 people.

The forest farm hosts small group tours called Nourishing Nature that support our conservation efforts. Every farm visit plays a vital role in unlocking the power of regenerative climate action by restoring a biodiverse ecosystem.

Regenerative Forest Farming

• Description: Growing food sustainably within a biodiverse natural forest, focusing on agroforestry without timber harvesting.

• Outcome: Cultivates diverse native plants and wildlife, enhancing the overall ecosystem health.

Velskov is a natural forest farm in New Zealand, where we grow food regeneratively within a native forest outside Auckland. Our approach to forest farming combines small-scale harvesting with ecosystem restoration, without harvesting trees for timber, while investing in weed and predator control systems. Across 10 acres, we cultivate a wide variety of edible native plants alongside a thriving, diverse wildlife population.

Well-Being of People and Economy

Description:
Our mission is to cultivate a symbiotic relationship between commerce and conservation, ensuring that natural forest farming becomes a cornerstone of both environmental and economic resilience.

Outcome:
Velskov aspires to lead in the development and global sharing of natural forest farming practices that not only preserve and enhance forest ecosystems but also provide tangible benefits to local economies, food security, and social well-being.

Together with our partners, we aim to create a thriving network of forest farms, where the economy, people, and nature prosper together. This network will provide well-paying jobs, promote local food production, strengthen community ties, and offer long-term solutions for carbon sequestration, all while maintaining the health and biodiversity of our forests.

We strive to support the well-being of natural forests through the Velskov Method, a prosperous approach to natural forest farming.
