Two things you'll find in Golden Bay are horopito and takahe, and they're two things that father daughter duo Peter and Lucy Butler have put together. Peter Butler transitioned from a failing organic kiwifruit orchard to successfully farming the native horopito plant. He's also behind Health Post - New Zealand's largest natural health and wellness store - which is 100% NZ family-owned - founded by his late wife, Linley. It runs on the principle you shouldn't profit from people's ill health, and ultimately led to the establishment of HealthPost Nature Trust. Together with his daughter Lucy Butler, they have recently released takahe onto the Onetahua Farewell Spit, after their team to put up an impressive predator-proof fence. The father-daughter duo join Paddy.
