HEARTS OF HEMP

The Brothers Green, a trio of mates, are on a mission to clear up misconceptions around hemp, one of the past’s most significant crops and sources of plant protein. They believe hemp products can nourish people and land, which is why the low- care, carbon- absorbing crop is already being grown on farms throughout North Canterbury. Read about the hemp revolution on page 112. Plus, be in to win a hemp prize pack from The Brothers Green, valued at $ 210.

PIECE OF PARADISE

During the last level- 4 lockdown, more than a dozen members of the Owen family stretched into every corner of Driftwood Paradise, an idyllic property set on the Te Puna Inlet in the Bay of Islands. The Owens even occupied the two waterfront houses, “The Batch” and “The Pad”, intended for paying holiday guests. Read about the family’s slice of the Northland coast on page 22. And to celebrate our 100th issue, we’re giving away a three-night stay at Driftwood Seaside Escapes, valued at $690.

DOWN THE TRACK

When Cheryl Richards found an old Ferrymead train carriage on Trade Me, she and her husband Ben set about transforming it into a getaway. Today

“The Carriage’’ is nestled on a plot of pastoral land on their Canterbury property, Rockwood Station, where two streams join to create the Hororata River. Learn about Cheryl and Ben’s newest venture on their historic station on page 82, and be in to win a two-night stay for two at The Carriage, valued at $ 590.
