The Circular System of Forest Farming. This circular method emphasizes how each component feeds into and supports the next, creating a synergistic relationship between conservation and commerce.

CONSERVATION

COMMERCE

Growing Aotearoa's Natural 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 sensory activities and green business events. These experiences spread knowledge of the local environment and promote the sustainable use of its resources. Our quality venue is available for bookings for small events of up to 30 people.

The forest farm hosts private foraging cooking classes and 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, focusing on the restoration of 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 biodiverse native forest outside Auckland. Our approach to forest farming embodies sustainable agroforestry and ecosystem restoration, all without harvesting trees for timber.

Spanning 10 acres, we cultivate a large variety of edible native plants alongside a thriving and diverse wildlife population.

Our approach to forest farming embodies sustainable agroforestry and ecosystem restoration, all without harvesting trees for timber while investing in weed and predator control systems.

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 for the well-being of natural forests using the Velskov Method, a prosperous method for natural forest farming.
