Family, farming and racing
In the seven years since purchasing their Fordell farm, professional jockey Lisa Allpress and her husband Karl, a racehorse trainer, have put in the hard yards to improve their property.
Their 530-acre Arawhata farm was originally part of Okirae Station, farmed by four generations of the Campion family. The former sheep and beef farm later became part of a dairy operation.
“It ran as part of a dairy farm and was intensively farmed. We’ve fenced to make smaller paddocks to make it more convenient for us,” said Lisa.
Initially, Karl and Lisa grazed dairy heifers while building up cattle numbers through rearing calves.
“This is the first year without dairy heifers. We are now solely rearing calves and selling as yearlings,” said Lisa.
Cow & Horse Processing in Levin
No Moore Hassel Pet Food is an MPI approved and recognised primary meat processor. Based in Levin we offer local farmers a free and highly professional pick-up service for unwanted healthy cows and horses in the Manawatu-Wanganui region. If you would prefer to transport your animal yourself or have your horse or cow put down on the farm then we can arrange this with a No Hassell guarantee.
About Us
The couple aim to rear 200 beef calves this season to increase their numbers.
“We also have about 20 cows we breed from to build up our Hereford herd.”
Organic milk direct to the public
Opening their Udderly Organic Ltd creamery realised a long-held dream for Wayne and Angela Moxham.
Twelve months ago, the couple achieved their goal to have milk produced on their Moxham Milk farms accessible to the public under their own brand.
Our in-house processing plant enables us to guarantee the consistent quality and reliability of the process from the picking-up to the putting-down of the animal. As a recognised specialist you can rest assured that our years of expertise and close connection to the farming industry makes our service as convenient, respectful and professional as it can be.
“This dream gained traction in 2019 when we decided on the name Udderly Organic Ltd and began the process of working with companies that designed and built the plant, and constructed the building to house it,” said Angela.
Moxham Milk farms, located at Koputaroa north of Levin, originally ran as a conventional system with three generations of the family working on the two properties. In 2006, Wayne and his father Murray began the conversion process for the farms to become fully certified organic, achieving this four years later.
“The decision to change to organics was relatively easy and has been beneficial to the health of our land and our animals,” said Angela.

More than a century of farming
Five generations of the Beagley family have owned Whariti farm near Woodville.
William Beagley, one of the first settlers in the district, acquired the farm in July 1878. Farm ownership passed through the generations with the current owners’ parents, Doug and Shirley Beagley, purchasing the property outright from Doug’s siblings in 1995.
Doug and Shirley had four children, Allen, Julie, Vicki and Murray. Three of the siblings, fifth-generation Julie, Vicki and Murray, now own the farm.
The property has increased in size over the years to its current 456ha. Native bush covers 281ha of the farm,
and 145ha is used for grazing. The remaining 30ha is retired. Waterways were fenced off and riparian planted 15 years ago.
Julie said the family have always been passionate about preserving the virgin native bush.
The farm is leased out to local farmer and family friend, Stephen Knight. He runs Romney ewes and Wagyu-cross steers on the property.
In 2023, the Beagley family received a Century Farm Award from Century Farms New Zealand.
Growing garlic in the valley
Rita Batley and Vanessa Witt ventured into growing garlic together after turning a tired farm paddock into a fertile patch of land.
Rita had begun growing garlic with friends the previous year, buying a large quantity of Printanor variety.
Around 20,000 cloves were planted that winter on the Moawhango Valley property near Taihape.
As Rita had grown this variety successfully in her garden for many years, she knew it grew well in local conditions. Other varieties are grown on-site, too. In 2020 Vanessa joined
the venture to help with harvesting and the first crop sales.
The garlic is grown on part of the Batley family farm, which is owned by Rita and her family.
Each year, Rita and Vanessa harvest around 26,000 bulbs from their Moa Valley Farm garlic crop. Nearly 4,000 of those bulbs are kept for planting.
In addition to online sales, the pair sells their garlic at local farmers’ markets.

Beekeeping brothers’ business expanding Sustainable systems for future generations
Since taking up beekeeping as youngsters, Daniel and Matthew Mason have developed their hobby into a solid business, with more honey exports on the horizon.
The brothers began beekeeping when they were 12 and 14 years old, with one hive in their parents’ backyard.
Reading books about beekeeping, attending the Manawatū Beekeepers Club meetings, and speaking with more experienced beekeepers helped to expand their knowledge.
Gradually, hive numbers increased to 150 placed in different sites around the Manawatū, averaging between 10 to 20 hives per site.
In the summer of 2017, Matthew and Daniel scaled up their business to provide them both with full-time employment.
Mason Brothers’ Honey now has 800 hives located in the Manawatū.
A large proportion of Mason Brothers’ Honey is sold in bulk to other companies,
After
exporting under those brands. Daniel and Matthew also sell their products online, at the Albert Street market in Palmerston North and are starting to export under their own brand.
“We specialise in mānuka honey but we also produce some clover and bush honey.”

The Stewart family’s connection to their land traces back more than 100 years with each generation expanding the legacy business.
Since the first purchase of 80 acres near Palmerston North by Scottish immigrant David Stewart in the 1880s, the family’s farm has grown to 580ha. Although sheep were the family’s livelihood for more than 100 years, diversification has been a key factor in the farming operation.
Five generations have farmed the Hiwinui property since 1886, prioritising land care and sustainable systems. Current income streams come from dairy, cattle, the family’s hospitality business Hiwinui Country Estate and farm tours.
In 1999, James and Debbie, and James’ parents, Dave and Jan, established Stewart Dairylands.
James said the aim behind Stewart Dairylands was to diversify the family’s farming operation, which at the time was predominantly sheep.
The Stewart family’s efforts were recognised when James and Debbie, and Dave and Jan, took out top honours at the 2024 Horizons Ballance Farm Environment Awards. Stewart Dairylands also won several other awards.

Planting the seeds of succession
Growing quality, certified grafted grapevines for the wine industry is the Gibbs family’s main focus on their 28.5ha Stanmore Farm at Te Horo.
The family’s efforts were recognised last year when selected as finalists in the 2024 Greater Wellington Ballance Farm Environment Awards, run by the New Zealand Farm Environment Trust.
Kate and her husband Tim manage the property alongside their son Harry.
“I do the technical consulting. Tim does books and accounting. He’s actually an engineer, so takes care of the technical aspects. Harry deals with orders, operation and staff.”
A viticulturist by trade, Kate previously worked with MAF then Corban’s
Sunflowers bring hope and compassion
Planting a field of sunflowers on their Newbury lifestyle block began with a couple of objectives in mind, but Dan and Kerry Reader soon found this project expanded further.
When her mother passed away in Scotland in 2021, Kerry’s family decided they would travel to New Zealand and bring over some of her ashes. A few months after her mother’s passing, the Russian-Ukraine war began.
“The sunflowers we planted were to honour Ukraine and for my family coming at Christmas to see the sunflowers growing across the fields.”
In her work as a psychologist, Kerry also wanted to use the sunflowers to brighten people’s day.
and Delegats Wines. Rootstock and scion wood is grown on-site, which is harvested off trellis during the winter. It is then grafted in springtime to make the new vines.
The grapevines are lifted then sent to customers as dormant one-year-old vines, ready for spring planting between September and November.
All varieties are grown to order but predominantly Sauvignon Blanc at present due to international wine demand.
The family also won soil management, agribusiness and regeneration awards.

The couple has found opening the gates to the community has brought joy to many people. They’ve met people from many different walks of life, too.
Kerry said opening their Newbury Sunflowers to the public has definitely been rewarding.
“We just want the community to enjoy it.”

Training the next farming generation
Taihape farmer Stephen Ponsonby has been involved with Growing Future Farmers since the inception of the farmer-led workforce training programme in 2020.
Growing Future Farmers (GFF) was formally established by several sheep and
beef producers throughout New Zealand. The charitable trust’s objective is to train students and open up career pathways to fill labour shortages in the agriculture industry.
Stephen is farm manager of the Plimmer familyowned Kelly and Black Hill properties. The two adjoining properties, known as the Kelly Land Company or Kellys, are located 30km north-east of Taihape on the NapierTaihape Road.
Covering 2,581ha of very steep to moderate hill country, the Kellys also features rolling flats on the tops. The Rangitīkei River runs between both blocks with 60ha of flats.
Stephen has already seen one of his students graduate from the programme, and last year had two cadets on-farm.
Career change the right move
Swapping an automotive career for the dairy industry reaped rewards for the
Manager of the Year Luke Ackerman.
The 37-year-old grew up on a dairy farm, helping his sharemilking parents out when needed. At that stage, he preferred to be out on the farm rather than in the cowshed.
That all changed when he met his wife, Sarah.
“She was the actual farmer out of the two of us, and working with her helped my love for cows grow,” he said.
In 2021, after a 15-year career as a mechanic, Luke decided to return to his agricultural roots. It was while working on Stewart Dairylands 180ha, 383-cow property at Hiwinui that Luke decided to enter the Manawatū Dairy Industry Awards. He saw it as an ideal opportunity to network with like-minded people and grow his support network.
The first-time entrant won the 2024
Dairy Manager of the Year title and also picked up three merit awards.

Dogs fetch top dollar
The recent Parapara-Mākirikiri Sheep Dog Trial Club’s annual working dog sale fundraiser drew a record number of buyers and sellers from all over the North Island to the Whangaehu venue.
Wanganui Centre publicity officer Brenda O’Leary said the sale was held 10 days earlier this year due to a clash of dates with the Taupō Tux Trial Championships.
“The earlier date didn’t appear to detract from the huge interest. Record numbers of people from all over the North Island travelled to the fundraiser in the hope of securing a good working dog.
“With 30 dogs going under the hammer and 10 youngsters, including six pups finding their forever homes, the competition was fierce. Many utes went home empty. Commiserations to those who missed out.”
The top-priced Huntaway was Harry Prebble’s dog Pope, fetching $13,500.
James Noble Campbell who worked at Mount View Station for a couple of years but is now in Wairoa, sold his two-year-old heading dog Zach for $9,000.
“Well-known Gisborne dog man Ned George brought his four-year-old Huntaway dog Rain down from Gisborne on the day of the sale to get $11,000 for him. A worthwhile trip.”
The average price for the Huntaways was $6,900 and the headings dogs $5,826. Youngsters averaged $1,475 each and six weaned pups went for $350 each. Brenda said it was a massive day with auctioneer, club member and
independent stock agent Chris Hay doing a brilliant job taking bids.
“Chris is always entertaining with his repartee.”
Club member Donna McLean prepared the sheep that were used for the dogs to work during the auction.
“She did a wonderful job working them during the days before the sale,” said Brenda.
“Club president Duncan Atkinson, who manages the farm the auction is held on, deserves full credit for pulling the day together.”
The club’s first fundraising sale was held in 2020. Buyers and sellers travel from all over the North Island to attend the annual event.
Brenda said the Parapara-Mākirikiri club will continue to provide a platform and venue for working sheep dogs to be sold as long as the demand is there.
“We hope to keep attracting good working sheep dogs and more of them to our annual club fundraiser.

Business helping community
In just four years, The Egg Project has grown from a pilot project to a fully-fledged
The joint business venture between Brian Kennerley and Pip Chrystall is based in Bainesse, west of Palmerston North.
Brian always had an idea to deliver eggs from the gate to the door, and in 2019, the pair followed this up.
“We built a relationship with our customers during lockdown and customers wanted this to continue,” said Pip.
Two years later, The Egg Project won the Agriculture and Food section of the Manawatū Business Awards. That award was followed up with The Egg Project
winning two more. In 2023, Brian and Pip took out the Best Emerging Business at the Feilding and District Business Awards, and the Environmental and Sustainable category at the Rangitīkei Business Awards.
Pullets arrive on the property at 16 weeks. Seven flocks of Hyline and Brown Shavers are maintained between 3,000 to 5,000 hens.
“They are housed in modern, temperature and air-controlled barns with full access outside to their large runs.”
Station developments mark milestones
The purchase of a 191ha farm in Linton three years ago has added value to Terawhiti Station’s farming operation.
Terawhiti Station is one of New Zealand’s oldest and largest sheep and cattle stations. Located on Wellington’s rugged south coast, Terawhiti Station is made up of three properties; Terawhiti Farming Company Limited, Te Kamaru Station Limited and Te Marama.
Michael Grace is director and major shareholder of all three companies.
“The property is still owned by the descendants of James and Hannah McMemamen,” he said.
Terawhiti Station is managed by Guy Parkinson, who also has a small
shareholding in the business. He manages the day-to-day running of livestock and development of the 4,800ha property.
The purchase of the Linton block, Emerald Fields, provides ideal finishing country for Terawhiti’s lambs and cattle instead of all youngstock sold as stores.
Luke Roberts is the part-time manager on Emerald Fields. The two-year plan is to continue working on Emerald Fields to reach its potential.

Helping whānau thrive
Local families are encouraged to come together by Muaūpoko Iwi at the Community Waitangi Day Celebration.
The longstanding event will be held on Thursday, February 6, from 10am to 3pm at Donnelly Park, Taitoko, Levin. Muaūpoko Tribal Authority kaiārahi kaupapa (project leader) Reg Maynard says the day has been organised by a Muaūpoko Whānau Komiti.
“We’re proud to support this event, alongside several iwi kaupapa and community events throughout the year, including Matariki,” said Reg.
“The Waitangi Day community celebration has been happening for over 30 years and has grown considerably.”
The free whānau (family) day has something for everyone from great music and entertainment, dedicated tents for kaumātua (elders) to relax in, free face painting for tamariki (children), hauora (health) check-ups and lots of stalls along with a free sausage sizzle. “Last year, we had over 4,000 people
attend and over 60 stalls — it was our biggest day ever. This year is on the same trajectory.
“The event commemorates and celebrates Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This is one way to collectively celebrate Te Tiriti o Waitangi through the expressions of kotahitanga (unity), manaakitangi
rangatiratanga (our presence) and whakawhanaungatanga (building relationships and thriving families).
“It is a free event, and enjoyed every year by our whānau and wider community. We look forward to seeing everyone for a wonderful whānau day at Donnelly Park in Taitoko, Levin. Kicks off at 10am.”
Reginald Maynard says last year’s Muaūpoko Iwi and Community Waitangi Day was the biggest celebration and this year is on the same trajectory (kindness),
Specialists in tree removal —
At Beaver Tree Service, we understand that while trees enhance our landscapes and communities, some can become challenging or hazardous in urban environments.
From imposing giants overhanging homes to awkwardly positioned trees near sheds, fences or other structures, tree removal often requires expert knowledge and precision. Trees in tricky locations, particularly large, dying or ageing ones, pose unique challenges. Root systems can disrupt foundations or driveways, branches can encroach on power lines or rooftops, and decaying trees can threaten property or people. That’s where our expertise comes in.
As qualified arborists, we specialise in the safe and efficient removal of trees from even the most difficult locations. Using advanced rigging systems and sectional dismantling techniques, we carefully remove branches and trunks, minimising the impact on nearby structures or landscaping. Whether it’s a single tree overshadowing your home or a group of trees causing conflict, our team ensures every job is handled with care and precision.
Safety is our top priority, and we take pride in our ability to assess potential hazards. By identifying issues like deadwood, structural weaknesses or root damage, we help property owners make informed decisions about their trees. We also understand the personal and environmental value trees hold. That’s why we offer solutions beyond removal, including pruning and shaping, to extend the life of your trees or achieve a desired aesthetic where possible.
If you’re concerned about a problematic tree or want some expert advice, give us a call. Our experienced team offers free, noobligation appraisals to assess your trees’ health and safety. Let Beaver Tree Service provide the professional care and tailored solutions your trees deserve.
We’re here to help you protect your property, your loved ones and the natural beauty of your surroundings.
SPOTLIGHT ON FEILDING

Serving the community
Manchester House has served the Feilding community and surrounding rural districts for the past 52 years.
The not-for-profit organisation began when a local funeral director, concerned about the rising rate of youth suicide, met with local leaders from the Presbyterian, Methodist and Anglican churches. An opportunity shop in Manchester Street was opened to raise funds and financially support employment of a social worker to work with youth.
Manchester House Social Services executive manager Ann Williamson said there are currently four services, which encompass Manchester House.
“Our social services at 68 Aorangi Street in Feilding are the jewel in the crown because this is where we started with services in our community.”
Over the years, the organisation expanded to offer several professional services. These services include family and youth support, social work, counselling, financial mentoring, food bank, an addiction support group and an autistic spectrum disorders
(ASD) group, which are all available at Manchester House.
Manchester House also offers courtordered supervised access for families year-round.
“We are a walk-in/on-demand service while appointments can be scheduled with staff. All four services work skilfully together, as we are professionals with extremely experienced or tertiary trained employees.”
The Senior Hub supports people age 60 and over, offering five exercise programmes from high to low impact, each week at 14 Bowen Street. The hub can assist with IT and numerous programmes, as well as welfare concerns for seniors. Senior Hub resumes on Tuesday, January 21.
Up to 100 children attend the After School Activity Programme’s (ASAP) afternoon sessions and 50 in the mornings. School holiday programmes are also available with the next to run from
Monday, January 13 to Friday, January 31. The Manchester House Opportunity Shop at 96 Fergusson Street has a wide range of quality clothing, furniture and bric-a-brac for sale. Funds raised from the opportunity shop go directly back into the social services.
In summing up the work and mission of Manchester House, Ann said one of the beauties of this service is that the needs of individuals can be met in many ways.
“You have to have real empathy with everybody who walks in the door. People often come into our services often in a very stressed state. We recognise that everybody coming in here is an
individual with individual problems and backgrounds. If given an opportunity, we are privileged to journey with them.”
Emergency food support operates five days a week, assisting people with food parcels and budgeting advice. This service reopened on Monday, January 13. For further information, phone 06 323 7191.

Swimming safely is the goal at Himatangi Beach
Record numbers of beachgoers visited Himatangi Beach over the Christmas break, highlighting the ongoing role of the
Club members have patrolled Himatangi Beach during the summer period since the late 1940s. Two years ago, the club celebrated its 75th jubilee.
As the demographic of New Zealanders becomes more diverse, the number of school swimming pools declines, and the affordability of swim schools adds to the challenge for parents, the role of surf lifesaving clubs has never been more important in providing a safe swimming environment at beaches.
The Manawatū District Council has been a proud supporter of the Palmerston North Surf Life Saving Club for more than 20 years.
Manawatū District Council community wellbeing manager Janine Hawthorn said Himatangi Beach is a hidden jewel of the district.
“It comes alive in the summer with campers, visitors and locals making use of the natural beauty of the coastline. The district is fortunate to have the dedication and expertise of the Palmerston North
Surf Life Saving Club at the beach.” The club’s goal is education and prevention so that rescues don’t need to happen. This is often best achieved by a simple conversation before going into the water to know who are strong swimmers, who might need help, and to understand personal swimming abilities.
Easily achievable rules, such as swimming between the flags, speaking to locals to understand safe swimming areas, and knowing your own limitations as a swimmer can help keep you safe this summer.
The Palmerston North Surf Life Saving Club has earned several awards over the years. The most recent was a highly commended certificate in the Not for Profit category at the 2024 Yorb Manawatū Business Awards.
More club members of all ages from juniors to adults are always welcome. You can join, or support the club, by visiting Surf Lifesaving NZ — Palmerston North SLSC.

Local treasures support community
Held four times a year, the Manawatū Craft and Food Fair will be at 70 Waldegrave Street, Palmerston North, on Saturday, February 15 from 10am to 3pm.
Showcasing local talents, an assortment of items are on display for purchase at the markets. Attendees can peruse a collection of stalls, including youth sites at Bell and Barber halls. Food trucks will be in the car park outside Bell Hall.
Supporting local crafters and those with a culinary passion, the markets help the community thrive. Attendees can expect to see jewellery, crocheted items, artwork, children’s clothing, cards, soaps, woodwork, upcycled items, candles, conserves, baking and other trinkets at
the markets. While the markets are an opportunity for many to sell their wares, it is also a platform for the stallholders and organisers to give back to the community. Each market supports a charity and sellers donate items to be raffled with funds going towards a local charity or organisation.
Last year, the market raised $637.50 for five charities in the region. The Manawatū Toy Library got $124, Allsorts Cafe and Centre was donated $233, Butterfly Compassion Community received $80, The House Next Door was gifted $98.50
and Dress For Success received $102.
In 2023, the markets drew their largest collection with $1,152 going to four local organisations. The MHT Diabetes Trust received $105, Scouts NZ got $465, Backpack Outreach was donated $220 and Brain Injury Central Districts was granted $362.
February’s raffle organisation has not been named yet. After the February market, there will be ones held in May, August and November.
While some Eftpos machines are available at some stalls, marketgoers are asked to bring cash as some stallholders have cash-only purchases. For more information, visit facebook. com/manawatucraftandfoodfair or manawatucraftandfoodfair.co.nz.
