Suzan Craig and her conservationist father John Craig tell Kathryn Ryan about their transformation of a remote run-down cattle farm at Pataua North, north east of Whangārei, for which they were recently rewarded with the 2020 Supreme Sustainable Business Award.

Calling it Tahi, they're restored nearly 30 hectares of wetlands and planted 300,000 native trees and plants.  They sell their own honey and run an eco-retreat business and a cafe, all this while working out a way to measure their bio-diversity, in detail.
