Balsamic Moon

This is a pet project of mine I do each year, I help organise the Gordonton Art & Design Trail. Its an honour to be apart of, lifting one another up & promoting the Gordonton community.

Gordonton is special to me because this is where my Dad started farming when he came to the Waikato from Thames back in the 60s

SO COME SEE BALSAMIC MOON AT THE BARN IN ALL ITS GLORY

Details:

Discover the 2026 Gordonton Art & Design Trail
18–19 April | Gordonton, Waikato

10 am - 4 pm

Wander through a vibrant rural gallery where local artists open their studios & creativity spills into every corner. From painting and sculpture to pottery & mixed media — meet the makers, fall in love with original works, and take a piece home.

Make a day of it with boutique shopping, great coffee, and a taste of Gordonton charm.

Balsamic Moon is hoping to bring back an OG product - some of you might remember it - Loofah Soap.

It's been out of stock for two seasons now. Because this creation is dependent on my ability and the weather to produce loofah!

This years attempt is looking promising - so fingers crossed that Loofah Soap makes a comeback.
