GUTHRIE

The Farm

Tihoi, above the western bays

The farm sits on the volcanic plateau at Tihoi, where the paddocks roll down toward the western bays of Lake Taupō. Cool nights, mineral soils, and deep summer grass — country that was always going to grow remarkable milk.

Guthrie is two brothers: one on the farm, one across the ditch. Sean milks the ewes and — as a dairy process engineer by trade — obsesses over every degree and every minute between milking shed and churn. The name comes from Guthrie, the country near Horohoro where we grew up on our parents' farm. Two family places, one tub.

The Flock

Our lovely ewes

The flock gathered in long grass at golden hour on the Tihoi farm
Last light, first paddock
Ewes grazing with Lake Taupō and the western cliffs beyond
Grazing above the lake
A curious ewe at the fence, flock behind her
The welcoming committee
The flock in deep summer grass under a bright plateau sky
Deep grass, high summer
