T.O.A.D Hall is arguably the jewel in Motueka's crown.
What started off as a fruit and veggie shop on the town's main street has been transformed over the past decade into an organic farm-to-table operation and one of New Zealand's best loved cafes.
Its owner and founder, however, Angie Morris - a Westport-born and educated former police officer - isn't your typical hospitality guru.
She came into the industry after a career as a police diver - one of the country's first women to make it through the gruelling Royal New Zealand Navy selection process.
She speaks to Kathryn about the police force, home schooling four children, and turning TOAD Hall into an institution.
