CCC S2E10 with Phil Stevens (Slow Farm)

CCC S2E10 with Phil Stevens (Slow Farm)

Dylan's first face to face podcast with an update from Phil in Ashhurst about what he is up to (S1E2 here). We had just returned from Hamilton with John after Fieldays 2026 and I was spending two days staying with Phil on my way to Wellington.


Phil has been at this property, soon after arriving from the States, for 21 years. It was great to have a tour of his permaculture influenced block of around 1 ha in size. Captioned photos show some of what was on show: https://passionatepermies.wordpress.com/2026/06/20/phil-stevens-podcast-no-2/


Phil also showed me a small local community garden at the library and community orchard near his farm. It seems Ashhurst has benefited from like minded people contributing towards community resilience over the years.


Phil is the current Chair of Biochar Network New Zealand and also has some great biochar info on his Slow Farm website: https://slowfarm.co.nz/services/biochar
