It is always a treat to be given a real surprise and this was one for me. Driving onto the farm, Acacias, ground squirrels and a beautiful winter morning to meet a family operation, husband wife, daughter in law and son in an operation that is almost 30 years in operation is wonderful. A short whistle strop tour and a promise from Hilgard to put a few words down.
