E2: Setting up a homestead with Mānuka Valley Farm
Ruby and Tristan Burch are homesteaders and animal rescuers based in Paparoa, Northland. Having moved from London to Wellington to the country in the space of a few years, they provide an accessible and realistic example of the kind of transformation people can make when they're driven by a desire to live a more sustainable and conscious life.
They tell Michael Andrew about their efforts to restore the land, their rescue animals and all the challenges and benefits that come with this lifestyle.
