Riverside Community NZ

Riverside Community NZ Riverside Community is a place where individuals have come together for Co operative Living for Peace and Sustainability.

Riverside Community was established in 1941 by a small group of Christian Pacifists who, in the face of the 2nd World War, were eager to practice ways of living that were based on cooperation and sustainability and the repudiation of war. The founders of Riverside believed equality, social justice and fairness to be the main pillars of peace. We have come a long way from the original religious focus and consider ourselves a secular and pluralist community these days. Riverside enterprises include a dairy farm (Riverside Milk), several options of tourist accommodation (Hostel, Sojourn), a large venue for hire suitable for weddings, workshops and other events (Riverside Community Cultural Centre), an art gallery (Che Vincent Gallery) as well as a mechanical/engineering workshop (Riverside Garage), a joinery and organic gardens. The Riverside Community Trust Board also owns Riverside Cafe which is currently leased out.
