If you email rawmilk@clear.net.nz they will send full information, agreement, and forms to sign. You pay a $1 share, and then set up a regular payment direct to them for the milk you want ($6.60 for a 2 litre bottle). …"

Permaculture lifestyle block
In order to fund our planned move to a potential permaculture block I am back selling real estate on Auckland's north shore. I did this job back in the 90's in Epsom/Remuera. If you have a question about the market or would like to know what your property might be worth, email me james.westaway@raywhite.com

1. STEP ONE
To make home-made cream cheese you just transfer a container (about 1 kg) of PLAIN yogurt into a…
