A Supreme Dream

Now a trustee on the New Zealand Farm Environment Trust, Kate accepted the FMG Rural Champion Award on behalf of the Trust at last year’s Beef + Lamb New Zealand Awards.
Rolling out the Carpet
Anna Campbell leads the hoiho recovery programme as general manager of Te Tautiaki Hoiho Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust in Ōtepoti Dunedin.
A Dream & Hard Graft
A way of life with a love of horses at its core, encompassed by a strong belief that horses can heal.
A Cosy Spot
It’s a picturesque, sheltered cove with a wee fishing village that’s popular in the summer for swimming and holidaymaking, featuring views across the water towards Cathedral Rock and, further in the distance, Rakiura Stewart Island.
Esther Kidd
The twenty-five-year veteran and Leading Charge Hand with Spain and Smith Shearing Contractors lays out what it takes to get through a day, and what keeps her going.
Sticky Lamb Spare Ribs
I like to use the lesser-used cuts of meat when possible. They are often cheaper, and if attached to the bone (like these spare ribs) they have so much flavour.
A Movement in the Māra
Bry Kopu, 51, and Te Raumahora Hema, 39, find synergy in their love for te taiao, and for their tūrangawaewae – Ngāmotu New Plymouth.
Moments, Raumati Summer 2023/24
I will always love the way kids can amuse themselves for hours and hours with their surroundings and a few simple items.
Peach, Zucchini and Mint Ice Blocks
Frozen treats are a must in the hot summer months. With a little forethought and preparation ahead of time they can be made with little effort.
