Every year we open our walnut paddocks Grassmere Walnuts to the public to forage for the thousands of walnuts that fall off our 52 trees every year. If you enjoy walnuts - one of the most nutritional nuts, then pop on over for a lovely stroll under 130 year old trees......

The walnuts are falling.... 🌳🌳and that means it's time for foraging! 😁 We will be open for our first foraging this weekend on Saturday 10am-12pm. Depending on how many walnuts get collected we will open again on Sunday or wait until the following weekend.
There has been plenty of sun to ripen walnuts and with this wind and rain later in the week more will be on the ground. We have already been foraging ourselves and there are plenty of yummy nuts!! Look forward to seeing you again on Sat!! Walnuts

And our gorgeous, historic, charming homestead is ready for guests! 🙌 We are so excited to share this lovely homestead with others. It has been lived in for 5 generations of the Hocken family and has now been carefully and lovingly renovated and decorated with character, history and comfort in mind.

Just finalising the booking system, but if you are looking for a lovely escape to the country with privacy and something unique, while still close to restaurants, shopping and airports, this is for you. Please get in touch with any enquiries.

It was wonderful to host a very special event at The Barn on Friday evening. Around 70 VIP guests, including about 20 ambassadors from around the world, 🌏 enjoyed a beautifully curated dinner of provincial food by Artisan Kitchen as part of a delegation for the Festival of Cultures. A special thank you to CEDA - Central Economic Development Agency and Palmerston North City Council for entrusting us to host a memorable event. 🙏
