In this way healthful recreation is provided for a number of the patients, and a plentiful and constant supply of fresh, wholesome vegetables is secured for the use of the Asylum. About fifty milch cows of the finest breed are kept on the estate, and a capital byre on the most modern principles has been erected in connection with the farm buildings. A large number of well-bred pigs, principally Berkshires and Yorkshires, are reared and fattened on the farm, and this forms a considerable source of revenue to the institution. An unlimited supply of fresh eggs is obtained from a large stock of the various breeds of poultry. Part of the land has been turned into an experimental sewage farm, which has been a great success." 1902 Newspaper extract Source: The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593b54933a04116ac5571fbb/1500272179100-P9ZZNL0L9ZS1V53DYBIS/image-asset.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593b54933a04116ac5571fbb/1500347848591-5VF4J6MD9O7KYSWHHU3B/image-asset.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593b54933a04116ac5571fbb/1500272421382-4JH54PRA0UMH01I9RQ1L/image-asset.png History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593b54933a04116ac5571fbb/1500348170051-DH7BIQ1UMB0P3VMKX0JP/2016.png History Above - series of aerial photographs showing how the Sanctuary Mahi Whenua has changed over time.
