Organically grown produce in the Western Bay of Plenty
On our farm it drops down into the bottom paddock quite steeply and it was scary the first time I did it on my bike. There are some wild horses in our top paddock at the moment so we have to be careful we don’t scare them on our bikes. If they’re by the gate we have use our bikes to push them back while we get through, they’re really good natured and don’t try to hurt us.
Loki is our family dog and he’s a Black Labrador, just had his second birthday.
He’s cute, loving and happy to play with us all day long. Eating is his speciality, he will do anything for food… Everywhere he goes he leaves a trail of black fur and he’s a big lump, especially when he jumps on my bed at night!
Our neighbours often come over to say hello and the kids have started naming the various looks, moods and behaviours they see over the fence. So far we have:
Drama Llama, Alarma Llama, Obama Llama, Farmer Llama…

It’s the time of year where we have to get on our hands an knees clearing the year’s growth around the plants and their weed mats. There are no shortcuts but it’s hugely satisfying work…. we’ll be able to crush golf balls with our bare hands by the time we get this all finished!
