Moxie's Cheese
BODY:
Ten years ago American city folks Antonia and Peter Murphy sailed to New Zealand where they now live on a small farm near Whangarei and raise two children and 40 assorted animals. Antonia's started to make her own goats' cheeses, the 'smelly, runny ones' that she loves and, for the first time, she's entered them in the New Zealand Cheese Awards this week in Auckland.
EXTENDED BODY:
It’s been dubbed punk-rock cheese and it’s entered in this year’s New Zealand Cheese Awards.
The goat’s milk product is the work of American Antonia Murphy who lives in the country near Whangarei and started making her very own cheese from her very own goat, because she couldn’t find the “stinky, runny” stuff she loved back home.
City folks Antonia and husband Peter sailed to New Zealand ten years ago, and they’re now raising two kiwi-born children and 40 assorted animals, including Moxie the milking goat. They live at Purua, a place of rolling countryside and river flats, half an hour west and inland from Whangarei.
I visit Antonia just a few days before the cheese awards in Auckland. Her goat cheese babies are already maturing nicely in the wine fridge after being produced back at the beginning of this month.
Antonia shows me the big copper pot, inherited from her father, in which she makes her cheese. Then she and five year old daughter Miranda take me to see the little cheeses snuggling in their atmosphere controlled home. They’re made in the style of French Valençay cheese and dusted in rosemary ash.
One batch is made with a commercial starter and Antonia’s named that ‘Valençay Purua’. But then there’s a ‘Valençay Moxie’!
“This is a wild cheese. It’s made with cultures that occur naturally in raw milk. I call it my punk rock cheese!”
Antonia says that’s the way people produced cheeses for hundreds of years, before the world started producing cultures in a laboratory.
Out in the paddock is Moxie the milk goat who charges up to the fence to say hi and eat goat pellets. Moxie lives in the lush green field with her mother Pearl, sister Stripe, and two other youngsters.
“Moxie produces way too much milk for my cheese-making needs. We’re freezing a lot, and that’ll be fed to our new pig”.
Poor pig. It’s only arrived today but already it’s been named Pancetta and is destined for great things in Antonia’s salt-cured and spiced Italian meat manufacturing plans.
Antonia Murphy: farmer, mother, cook, cheese maker and author. She’s written one book about her new life in New Zealand, and now she’s writing another. But that one will be about the sex industry!

A River Runs Through It
BODY:
Sustainable farm forestry and agricultural techniques, including the careful management of water resources are central to Peter and Jane Evans' farming operation near Timaru. The Pareora River runs for six kilometres through the 1,000 hectare property and most of it is now fenced off. They've also established a natural buffer zone of trees and native bush to prevent run-off. After purchasing Mount Horrible in 1989, the Evans' established a pine plantation to control the gorse on the hill country block and, in a few years time, it's expected to provide a good return per hectare.
EXTENDED BODY:
Sustainable farm forestry and agricultural techniques, including the careful management of water resources are central to Peter and Jane Evans’ sheep and beef farming operation near Timaru. The Pareora River runs for six kilometres through their scenic 1,000 hectare property and most of it is now fenced off from stock.
Cosmo Kentish-Barnes visits the Evans' farm:
Peter’s grandfather Benjamin Edward Evans started planting willows along the river in 1910 to protect the river banks and many of those trees still remain to this day. Peter’s father Wynne planted most of the trees along the gorge roadside and Peter and Jane have established a natural buffer zone of native trees and shrubs to absorb run-off and this planting is ongoing.
Every summer the Evans opens their farm to visitors. This year over 20 families camped in a paddock beside the river.
“The river plays a big part in our lives in more ways than one. There’s the social interaction with the campers, but we also have to deal with flooding which is disheartening when you plant lots of trees then get them all washed away, or you get your land eroded… it’s pretty trying” Peter says.
Peter's great-grandfather Benjamin Hudson Evans bought 200 acres of land between the Elworthy and Rhodes estates for 406 pounds shortly after arriving in New Zealand from Wales in 1875. The family added more land to the farm in 1915 with the purchase of Mt Misery.
Not long after taking over the running of the property, Peter and Jane purchased Mt Horrible in 1989. Much of it was infested with gorse so they decided to establish a pine plantation to control New Zealand's worst scrub weed.Twenty five years on the trees are thriving and in a few years time the forest is expected to provide a good return per hectare.
