We got a surprise! Coco who didn’t look pregnant had this little guy on Monday. Meet our little lamb Rex, named in honour of our beautiful 1st dog who we sadly lost 8 yrs ago. ❤️

He will always hold a special place in our hearts, and now a little piece of him lives on through his namesake. 🐾🐑❤️

✨Our Journey to Self Sufficiency ✨

There’s something pretty special about sitting down to a meal that has come from your own land.

These beef sausages came from one of our own cattle — raised by us, and now feeding our family. ❤️

Self-sufficiency doesn’t happen overnight. These sausages took 2 years to end up on our plate. It’s a journey of learning, growing knowledge, raising animals, growing food, preserving what we can and slowly becoming less reliant on the supermarket for the things we can produce ourselves.

We’re still a long way from being completely self-sufficient, but every little step feels like an achievement.

From our animals to our garden, from growing our own food to learning the skills needed to provide for our family — this is the life we’re building. 🌿

I’m on a journey to Learning life the way my grandparents & great grandparents lived before the supermarkets 🤎

Health update ✨

Recovery is going well at home. I can’t do to much for another 3 more weeks but Ryleigh has been my driver and taking me out on farm to see the animals & I just supervise while the kids do the hard work 😊

🌸 Term 3 was supposed to be all about welcoming new babies this spring… 🐑🐐🐣

We had so many exciting plans for Abraham Acres — welcoming the newest little arrivals on the farm, opening our gates to daycares, kōhanga reo and home-based childcare, and creating fun, hands-on farm experiences for little ones to enjoy. ❤️

But sometimes life has other plans.

Instead of spending these weeks out on the farm preparing for spring and welcoming visitors, I’ve spent nearly two weeks lying in a hospital bed following 2 surgery’s and complications, with recovery still ahead of me once I finally get home.

It’s definitely not how I imagined Term 3 would look.

There’s been a lot of disappointment at my end in having to put things on hold, especially when we had so many wonderful groups booked in.

But the animals are still here, spring is still coming, and those little farm babies are still waiting to be welcomed. 🐑🐐🐣🌱

So for now, Abraham Acres is taking a little unexpected pause while I focus on getting better.

We’ll be back. ❤️

A little note for anyone who has booked something with me for September — if I haven’t messaged you personally about your booking, please send me a message! I’m doing my best to keep up with everything, but it’s surprisingly hard keeping track of bookings and messages when I don’t have my trusty notebook with me in hospital. 🤦‍♀️😂

I’m really sorry if I’ve missed anyone or haven’t gotten back to you. It’s certainly not intentional!

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Abraham Acres, booked visits, shared our posts, and been excited to come and see us. Your support means more than you know. ❤️

Here’s hoping the next chapter of Term 4 looks a little more like the one we had planned. 🌸🚜🐑

See you back on the farm soon. ❤️

New Donkey Alert! Meet Aurora

Knight was super happy to be reunited with a friend of his. We picked up Aurora today from Ann at Donnbrae English/Irish Donkeys NZ same place we got Knight from. Who can say no to Donkeys!

I must say I got a hell of a fright checking our boundary fence in the cows new break when all of a sudden a train goes past right above me! I didn’t even hear it coming.

What’s given you a fright lately?

Saturday We welcomed 15 new pullets! The eggs are much smaller than the size 10ish jumbo eggs we were getting from the older girls we had.

Part of the junior farmer experience is collecting their eggs 🥚 hands-on, farm-style learning where they can get up close with our animals, help with real farm jobs, and discover where their food comes from. 💚👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

Thank you to The Chicken Lady from Waimate for supplying us our beautiful Pullets on her Southland run.

Happy Mother’s Day from Abraham Acres 🌿

Today we celebrate the mums, grandmothers, stepmums, fur baby mums and mother figures who pour their love into their families every single day.
The early mornings, the late nights, the hard work, the comfort, the meals, the cuddles, the teaching, and the endless love that keeps a home together — it never goes unnoticed.

From our family at Abraham Acres, we hope your day is filled with love, laughter, fresh air, good food, and special moments with the people who matter most. 💛

Here’s to muddy boots, warm kitchens, growing families, and the women who make a house feel like home.

Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸🐓🐄
