Farmer in Taranaki

1920-1926

 

On his return home in 1919 Rewi found it hard to settle down. In partnership with his friend Jack Stevens he was able to buy and stock a remote rehabitation farm in inland Taranaki. The next six years were fraught with hardship and hard work which as Philippa observed had a “big effect on Rewi”. It “cleared away a lot of was dreams and showed he had the capacity to endure hardship and the energy for sustained hard work.”

An organising body formed from representatives of twelve organisations to highlight the work and legacy of Rewi Alley and to hold commemorations during 2017 for the 120th Anniversary of his birth on 2nd December
