Liquid Gold

By Claire Castle

Te Miro resident Mike Huntley, stocking up on raw milk for his wife.

Sitting out on Flume Rd, Alexander Organics is fast making a name for itself, supplying fresh, raw milk from its self-serve shop through a milk dispenser imported from Italy.

The couple behind the business, Jesiah and Ellen Alexander, are passionate about what they do, opening their shop on June 9. They have nine cows supplying the milk, which are kept separate from the rest of the farm’s herd due to MPI regulations, but they are looking to increase that number as the milk has been selling out, Jesiah explained.

“We didn’t want to get too big, too fast,” he added, “but we’ve loved the response so far”.

Ellen agreed, and with their only promotion happening on Facebook it’s been word of mouth that has seen people coming from around Cambridge to fill up their bottles with the unpasteurised milk.

There are two elements to the business’s appeal, the couple explained, the sustainability of using glass bottles (which are available from a vending machine in store, another Italian import) and the health and taste benefits people report from drinking the unadulterated milk.

The glass bottles are also a hit with customers for nostalgic reasons, with many recalling the good old days before plastic bottles. “And glass keeps the milk colder and fresher, compared with plastic,” Jesiah said.

Plus, the bottles are chilled in the vending machine, so there’s no flashbacks to the warm milk that traumatised so many people

who endured the tepid school milk of old.

The amount of milk going through the shop depends on the cows, of course, but there’s normally around 90 litres passing through each day, selling out on the weekend.

There is rigorous testing of the milk dispenser, with a hospital-grade alkaline and acid clean and 80degree hot wash through the whole line. “And once every 10 days we test for a range of pathogens and how clean the plant is,” Ellen said.

The shop is self-serving, so Jesiah and Ellen don’t really get to know their customers as well as they would if they staffed the shop, but they can always tell who’s who by the speed at which they pop in and out. “The regulars are in and out like a flash,” Jesiah laughed.

“We sometimes see people go in and out so quickly we wonder if they even got any,” Ellen said, adding that there’s an MPI form on the counter for people to fill in, which is really the only way to know exactly who the regulars are.

The organic farming methods used on the farm are also important to the couple, who are committed to what they call proactive rather than reactive farming.

“It’s an awesome philosophy that we’re really passionate about,” they said, adding that they concentrate their efforts around aiding their animals to have a strong immunity, avoiding the need for chemical intervention.

And if the success of the shop is anything to go by, their customers agree - draining their shop of every drop of the liquid gold on a regular basis.

Alpacas add charm and value to rural areas

By Viv Posselt

Alpacas are delightful enough to win a starring role in any children’s book, but they also possess a raft of other attributes that are fast making them a favourite among New Zealand lifestylers and farmers.

They’re gentle and smart, don’t pug the ground, they’re relatively easycare and grow a highly-valued fleece that doesn’t make you itch. If that’s not enough, there’s no dirty dagging required, they can be herded easily, they enjoy a varied menu and live happily on steep or wet land. Alpacas don’t usually spit at people either – that’s generally reserved for other irritating animals that don’t back off when required.

Some of those advantages probably helped win Kerri Campbell over when she and husband Neil were looking for beasties to keep the grass down.

No doubt the alpacas’ natural charm worked its magic, too, as she watched them at events like National Fieldays.

Neil wasn’t too sure at first, Kerri recalled: “He really wanted some beefies to do the job.”

He finally capitulated, and while he insists the Blueridge Farm Alpacas operation they now run at Bruntwood Road is Kerri’s baby, Neil’s affection for the camelids is evident.

Before the alpacas, the Campbells were already agricultural folk. They had a free range commercial chicken farm just outside Matamata for 15

years. Neil ran some cattle and Kerri also had horses, but her excitement around alpacas was matched only by her growing desire to move away from the 24/7 care the chickens required. They started out with four pregnant female alpacas some eight years ago, and now have a herd of around 50. Kerri’s knowledge has grown exponentially, and as president of the northern region of the Alpaca Association New Zealand (AANZ), she now helps others new to the game.

Blueridge Farm’s 27 acres is dotted with paddocks containing alpacas of all colours and sizes. Many are awardwinning animals, and all are addressed by a slew of magical names – among them Nico, Armedaous, Mozaik, Anzac Poppy, Summer Breeze, and Toblerone.

They communicate using a range of different sounds and are acutely alert to what is going on around them. “You can trick them once, but never twice,” said Neil.

“We’ve been steadily growing the herd and improving the quality of the fleece we are getting,” said Kerri. “Our goal is to have very high-quality fibre and bloodstock and then move into exporting.”

Animals earmarked for export will spend time on a quarantine farm.

“That is an essential part of the process,” Neil explained. “A lot of alpacas are now being exported to Europe. Our fleeces are selling well in New Zealand, and the quality has

been improving all the time. We are now at that point where we’re looking at the next step.”

Selective breeding at Blueridge has brought the Campbells to that point.

The finer the fleece, or the lower the

micron grading, the higher price is achieved, and Blueridge fleeces are up there with the best of them. They are being used in a range of quality products, including next-to-the-skin clothing, baby wear, blankets and

duvets, while their ‘seconds’ go into insulation.

“Alpaca fleece is an ideal natural product for use in insulation as it is flame-resistant due to its lack of Continued page 6

Risk-based monitoring programme adopted

By Stu Kneebone, Waikato Regional Councillor, Waipa/King Country Back in 2014, Waikato Regional Council (WRC) was made aware of concerns from farmers regarding its approach to monitoring dairy farm compliance, and in particular its use of helicopters. As a result, a number of changes were made to the way in which WRC undertook its monitoring responsibilities. These included stopping the use of helicopters, and making appointments with farmers prior to visiting for the purposes of monitoring compliance with the rules.

There was an increased focus on ensuring farms have appropriate infrastructure to enable them to be compliant 365 days a year, with a risk-based prioritisation approach, and a generally more colloborative approach to working with farmers and industry and ensuring there was good awareness of the rules.

Three years later however, the statistics collected in terms of noncompliance with the permitted activity (PA) rules do not demonstrate that things are improving at a satisfactory rate. Of the Waikato’s 4255 dairy farms, 19 per cent or

808 of these are operating on inadequate, sump type storage with between one and seven days storage. This means they have no choice but to apply effluent during wet weather and sodden soil conditions, with subsequent negative impacts on the environment, and in breach of the Waikato Regional Plan rules. Of these 808 noncompliant farms, 453 have been visited and written to in the past three years, however approximately only 73 have upgraded their infrastructure with appropriate storage.

This is clearly not acceptable.

It’s unfair on the majority of farmers who are doing the right thing, have invested in the necessary infrastructure and are doing their best to raise the image of dairy farming amongst a watchful and often critical urban majority. It’s also a waste of valuable nutrients that could be utilised to grow more grass instead of degrading our freshwater. These farms are also not complying with their own industry code of practice.

So, Council recently resolved to adopt a more risk-based monitoring programme, targeting the properties with a high risk of non compliance,

and this includes the use of aerial inspections. This includes statellite imagery, drones, fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. However I would emphasise that there is no intention to undertake blanket helicopter monitoring. At last month’s meeting, councillors voted to limit the use of aerial inspections to circumstances where there is cause to suspect that properties present a high risk of non-compliance or are non-compliant. Council are cognizant of the concerns many farmers have regarding helicopter inspections, however we have to balance this against our responsibility to ensure everyone is treated fairly, and that everyone is making a reasonable effort to comply and do the right thing.

My Waikato app for river clean-up The Waikato River Authority is using a Waikato Regional Council mobile app to get people engaged with the clean-up of the river.

Waikato River Authority chief executive Bob Penter said the authority, which oversees the Vision & Strategy for the improved health and wellbeing of the Waikato and Waipā rivers, has 250 projects it’s funded on a channel of the My Waikato app.

My Waikato, which is free to download, is an app on which the regional council shares data and information via a pin drop on a map.

“We have seven years of funded projects marked on the app, with quite a lot of detail provided,” Bob said. “The task to restore and protect the river is a huge undertaking, and we believe that My Waikato will go some way toward helping us get more people engaged and participating in river clean-up. Anything that can help harness social change as part of the Vision & Strategy is extremely worthwhile.”

Other information currently being shared on My Waikato includes projects worked on

by Enviroschools in the region. The public can also use the My Waikato app to report possible breaches of the Resource Management Act, such as discharges to water and air or illegal earthworks on the land and in coastal environments.

Waikato Regional Council communications and engagement section manager Nicola Chrisp says the free app was developed as a fast and simple way for the council and others in the community to share what’s happening in the Waikato region.

“My Waikato shows you a cool interactive map, with pins dropped at locations of interest.

Pins can be about all sorts of topics like the environment, economy and the community. Each topic appears as a layer or channel. You choose which channels you want to view.

“If you come across a load of dead fish in the water, a weird smell or something else unusual in the environment, you can drop a pin on the map to instantly let the council know.”

Search for My Waikato in your iOS or Android app store to download the app for free. If you want to see a particular channel added or have any feedback about the app, email digital@ waikatoregion.govt.nz.

France – a designer’s paradise

By Wayne Good Having just returned from a month in France, I am reflecting on all the wonderful and exciting things I saw.

In my profession, it is so important to be aware of what’s chaud (hot) in Europe and around the world, because I believe that with our isolation here in New Zealand, it is very easy to forget that there is a big wide design world out there and we only see what the visual want us to see.

So to be able to be in the thick of it was just brilliant.

This became very evident to me

recently after I was given a copy of a recent New Zealand design publication. Beautiful architecture, but oh my goodness, the colour schemes.

What colour schemes? It was fantastic if you like white, grey, black, brown and beige. No colour at all!

Now I have my theory on this, but I will keep this to myself for fear of offending someone.

There is nothing wrong with white.

I have white walls however I’ve added heaps of colour into my rooms with art, fabrics, rugs, and accessories.

So, what’s happening in France?

Well, the colours I saw in design stores,

fabric showrooms and magazines were mustard, emerald green, violets, with quite a heavy influence of patterns and designs from South East Asia and the Middle East, and of course neutrals.

The French are certainly aiming for a contemporary look, which probably explains why there is so much antique furniture for sale, however, they are so good at mixing and matching styles to get away from that “showhome” look, using contemporary pieces, vintage pieces and Asian all in the one room, mixed with some vibrant colours, interesting art, and it works.

So how about adding some colour

Waikato Regional Council is urging residents to report any sightings of wild rabbit carcasses in areas where the RHDV1 K5 virus was released in April.

At the same time, landowners are being urged to continue with their rabbit control operations over winter.

The virus was released in Cambridge/ Karāpiro, Taupō, Kinloch, Omori/ Kuratau and Whakarawa, as well as Matarangi, Pauanui, Whangamatā, Thames, and Hamilton.

“To be able to assess the effectiveness of the K5 release we are keen to hear of any sightings of wild rabbit carcasses so they can be collected for testing,” said council biosecurity pest animals team leader, Brett Bailey.

“To date we have had only a couple of reports – one in Karāpiro and another in Taupō – and there could be a number of reasons for this.

Rabbit densities dropped significantly throughout the region, particularly in Kinloch, prior to the K5 release. We think this could be due in part to a spike in the pre-existing virus.

“The particularly cold temperatures experienced around the time of the virus release could also have prevented the virus from spreading as hoped.

Flies, in particular, play an important part in helping the virus to spread and of course they drop off when the temperature dips,” he said.

“This virus was never going to be a

silver bullet for rabbit control, which is why more traditional control methods need to be maintained.”

Brett said testing of rabbit carcasses would also help the council identify if the newly discovered European rabbit calcivirus, known as RHDV2, is in the Waikato.

RHDV2 affects European rabbits and at least two species of hares (Sardinian Cape hare and the Italian hare) and can cause mortality in young animals from 11 days onwards.

Vaccines for the viruses have been imported into New Zealand and are available through veterinarians for pet rabbits.

and the odd interesting piece to change the look of your own home?

Objet Design Fair in Paris is January 2019, so will update you further after that.

Bruce Edwards Upholstery offers expect advice on the best outdoor shade solution for your place, as well as a large selection of shade solutions to choose from.

“I will visit your property and offer advice on the best solutions, whether that be my products or something that will work in tandem with my products,” says owner Bruce Edwards.

The blinds come in avariety of high-tech quality fabrics, mesh or clear PVC with specially designed tracks on both sides of the blind to glide smoothly and easily, stopping anywhere you want.

Umbrellas Retractable Sails Shade Sails Outdoor Blinds

Awnings Customised Covers Interior Blinds

The French are expert at mixing and matching styles to create interesting and vibrant spaces.

The company offers a wide range of shade sails, including custom-made and ready-made for those who prefer a DIY option.

Awnings are another speciality of Bruce Edwards Upholstery, providing weatherproof protection for both residential and commercial patios, entrance ways and exposed areas.

They can be manual or motorised and feature removable posts, a revel or face fix, reverse handle and a pull stick for hard-to-reach blinds.

Shade sails are also a popular outdoor shade solution, including retractablewave shades that are ideal for people with Clearlite or open frame pergolas.

“By adding a wave shade you can cut down the heat in these pergolas by about 15 percent,” says Bruce. “And in winter you can simply unclip them and put them away.’

Options include fixed frame and folding arm awnings which can either be operated by a gearbox with a handle, or automated with the press of a button.

The company also offers a wide range of Shade 7 umbrellas, including cantilever, market and commercial umbrellas.

“The Riviera cantilever is our most popular umbrella,” says Bruce. “Because there is no centre post you can direct the shade wherever you want it without the post getting in the way. It’s also strong and sturdy and can handle winds of up to 60kph.”

Rehabbing with love Alpacas add charm and value

By Candice Gollan Nestled in the back roads of Thames sits the small township of Miranda. The town is known for their farm land, the phenomenal scenery and their hot pools. It’s about to be known that Anna Rehab has come to town.

Taking refuge inside from the chilly afternoon outside, the 25-year-old Cambridge-native Anna Baigent, sat on a plush green sofa watching her one-year-old son play while she reminisced about how Anna Rehab – Taking the race out of the race horse came to be.

“I started Anna Rehab because I was asked to,” Anna recalled.

Anna used to work in horse racing stables based in Cambridge before departing to use the Large Animal Vet Technician and Masters’ in Animal Science degrees that she had worked hard for many years prior.

After her departure, she received a phone call from a track work rider she used to work with that had adopted a retired race horse from the track.

“She said the horse needed a bit of Anna Rehab,” Anna said. “The name has just sort of stuck.”

The horse was Honourable Dragon, Sirca to his friends and Bow to the neighbours two little girls. He came to Anna Rehab with a multitude of problems, but his main issue was that he had suffered a broken hip that occurred from a paddock accident. Anna worked with Sirca and rehabilitated him, while the neighbour’s girls doted on him at any given opportunity.

“Most of rehabbing a horse from racing is hooves and teeth,” Anna explained, adding that the hardest thing about working with horses

is that not all of them can be rehabilitated.

“Sometimes they are not fixable, and they have to put down, or they would live the rest of their lives in pain.”

Anna has been around horses all her twentyfive years of life and started working with them in 2013 after she graduated as a large animal vet tech.

Since the start of Anna Rehab, there have been some high profile and well-bred horses that have graced the Baigent farm, including the former Shaun Ritchie trained Glorious Lad. For more information visit their Facebook page: Anna Rehab – Taking the race out of the race horse.

Anna Baigent and Sexabeel, a son of Zabeel and close to Anna’s heart.

Continued from page 3 lanolin,” explained Kerri, citing yet another advantage alpacas have over sheep. Alpacas are also resistant to fly strike and footrot, they don’t need crutching, tail docking or dipping and they prefer pooping in communal sites around their paddock.

Neil said his 20 or so cattle and the alpacas neutralise one another’s worms – another unexpected efficiency. “They are not susceptible to parasites, so they mop up each other’s worms when we rotate the paddocks they graze.”

There are two main types of alpaca – suri and huacayas. Most of the 15,000 or so alpacas in New Zealand are the huacayas, characterised by thick dense fleece as opposed to the suri’s long silky locks. Their breeding patterns reflect their origins in the high peaks of South America where they have been domesticated for thousands of years. The females – or hembra – don’t come into heat as do many other herd animals. Rather, they are ‘induced ovulators’, so will only ovulate once the male – or macho – has mated with them. The babies – or cria – will be born 11 ½ months after conception. Birth is timed according to barometric pressure and is usually early enough in the day to ensure the cria is up and running by nightfall.

New Zealand has an enviable disease-free record with alpacas, Kerri said. Risks sometimes associated with importation of semen in other industries for AI (artificial insemination) do not occur as AI is not used in alpacas due to anatomical difficulties in collecting semen.

Embryo transfer, however, is used to increase the rate of reproduction of elite animals.

Alpacas can live for up to 20 years, with the

females generally producing one cria a year from her second or third year of age.

Knowing the animals as they do, Kerri and Neil understand their appeal as pets, but both say it’s important to remember that the alpaca is a herd animal.

“There has to be more than one – preferably at least two or three – when going to homes as pets,” said Neil. “They simply won’t thrive on their own.”
