Gisborne are the first to see the sun in New Zealand but they were also the quickest off the mark to be part of the
From the Dirt to the Divine Cookbook. Geoff Wright from
Tairawhiti Organics was the first farmer to answer the regional call for a potluck. Geoff invited me into his home and then spent the next day ferrying me to all of the markets, showing off his organic
vinyard and then ultimately taking me to Bridget and Mike's of
Broadland Farms for the potluck. Organic farmers from the region came bearing old family heirloom farmhouse tables on the back of their
utes. Beautiful family linen but most importantly their organic produce and recipes. We set everything up under a sweeping Pecan Tree on the front lawn of the farm house and then proceeded to cook up and savour the best that the region has to offer.
