Following my studies, I travelled through Australia and New Zealand, taking on various odd jobs. An opportunity to work in an organic market garden in Napier filled a gap in my experience and made me feel more grounded. The work connected me to the land in a meaningful way. Over time, I grew within the role, eventually becoming the manager of over 12 hectares of vegetable production, leading large teams and overseeing the operation of numerous machines. I discovered the book The New Organic Grower by Eliot Coleman, a pioneer of the bio-intensive method and a prominent advocate for sustainable, small-scale farming. Further research introduced me to a range of innovative growers as Jean-Martin Fortier, Richard Perkins, Charles Dowding, Jessy Frost, Curtis Stone and many more… We settled down with my wife and our two daughters on this 2-hectare property in Bayview. Turning a page in 2020, we shifted to a human-scale, minimum tillage, organic market garden. This marked the beginning of Petit Jardin. Our approach prioritizes sustainable practices that respect the land and promote biodiversity, allowing us to produce fresh, healthy vegetables while maintaining soil health. Every season brings new challenges and rewards as we nurture our garden and watch it grow alongside our family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/48ca90c3-9cb0-4ac7-8e84-1d347b7652ab/Petit-Jardin-6319.jpg Home - Our production On less than 3,000 square meters, we cultivate over 50 different vegetable varieties. A permanent bed system combined with crop rotation significantly enhances soil health and leads to more nutrient-dense produce. By maintaining fixed planting areas, permanent beds reduce soil compaction and disturbance, promoting better root development and microbial activity. Crop rotation within these beds prevents the buildup of pests and diseases, balances nutrient use, and encourages a diverse soil ecosystem. This sustainable approach improves soil structure, increases organic matter, and supports a steady supply of essential nutrients, ultimately resulting in healthier plants and higher-quality crops. https://www.petitjardin.co.nz/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2025-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/97fe0ac4-b784-41e9-be4f-1a60035d48d7/IMG_2675.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/4dc3b46c-f3fd-4034-ad42-80005d6bac1c/IMG_4092.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/dee271b0-325e-4445-b21f-67bb97c772d7/IMG_4093.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/f35cf7e3-1300-4f7b-8345-84b7b27a062f/IMG_3856.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/32b573c6-00c0-430d-80b5-699256e3d693/IMG_3843.jpeg Grow it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/e0f056f9-2a5b-4595-a545-9a407ad7cb84/PHOTO-2020-12-08-19-54-14+copy.jpg Grow it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/15eaaa1e-4fbc-471a-ac28-60b42aea6396/PHOTO-2020-12-08-19-54-14.jpg Grow it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/6250c457-36bb-4bd9-b2bb-5644a2cdd29f/IMG_5542.jpeg Grow it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/e02d7dde-ed0e-4161-9b9a-573905f82fb5/IMG_2974.jpeg Grow it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/464ac349-c98f-4382-9f02-e9cd248de6f6/IMG_2941.jpeg Grow it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/174bcd59-442c-40d0-b52f-3c2f97c9cce7/IMG_2304.jpeg Grow it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/b327a9f1-0ab7-4011-b61f-aa9c5b07dd02/IMG_2877.jpeg Grow it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/4ee4a8b2-05e2-4d55-b0d7-e5e17bc03513/IMG_5578.jpeg Grow it https://www.petitjardin.co.nz/new-page daily 0.75 2025-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/4ec017b0-e260-4b40-a42c-699afd6a38ff/Photo+of+Veggie+Box.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/e2fbe368-0bff-4c41-8ce5-345525521fa5/IMG_6952.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/693de08b-aaea-4803-8ad5-09065b3a086e/pj-stamps-02.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/e93a5064-0ad7-41f2-9c88-c56ffe738b71/IMG_3693.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/49edb353-a954-4b98-b06a-030ae1d81ba8/Petit-Jardin-6359.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/ffb1c1ee-7eae-4942-9e3a-825ec6802afb/IMG_2935.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/a72d40ec-7354-4e2b-8fbf-5b8e1cc3f525/IMG_1480.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/9a6f1929-356e-44ac-8331-a49502d988d2/IMG_2208.jpeg https://www.petitjardin.co.nz/store daily 0.75 57870-12-29 https://www.petitjardin.co.nz/store/p/veggie-box monthly 0.5 2025-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f67fe09369b2c7ee834e24e/97e3bd65-195c-4dd2-a172-afec0640cc7e/IMG_5731.jpeg Store - Veggie Box - IMG_5731.jpeg
