Founded in 1993 by Herbalist Lynn Kirkland, The herb farm is a wellness destination for all your senses – where you can taste, smell, touch, hear and see the natural world come to life. Embracing the concept of Gaia, the philosophy that says the earth participates in its own healing, The herb farm is a true hidden gem in rural Ashhurst, just a 15-minute drive from Palmerston North city – open all year-round, seven days a week.

Spend the day here, immersed in the wonders of nature, including garden walks through over 2 acres of fourteen sprawling themed gardens. Come face to face with wild tranquillity, healing herbs and fragrant flowers, as well as fairies, gnomes and elves hidden throughout the woods. A magical wonderland that’s ever-changing through the seasons, where mindful moments come easy.

Also, a renowned skin care brand, The herb farm is home to 100% handcrafted natural skincare made on-site. Straight from farm to face, you can enjoy mindful gifting with a visit to its retail shop showcasing its beautiful product range. You can also book in a hands-on workshop to create your own products to take home – a unique experience for groups and get togethers.

And if you’re looking for a feast for the tastebuds, enjoy some beautiful meals at The herb farm café where the utmost care is taken to source local, free-range, organic ingredients to create fresh, delicious meals to nourish you from within, with plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options available. Their carrot cake is divine!
