E Ārahina ana e ngā Kaupeka. E Whakahaua ana e te Whenua.
I Bumble & Birdie, kāore he pakitara o tō mātou "taiwhanga". Ko te papa o te ngahere, ko te tuarā o te takutai, me ngā awaawa huna o tō mātou whenua. Ka rongo koe i te rerekētanga o te āhuarangi i mua i tō mātou tīmatanga – te mātao o te hukapapa o te ata i runga i te Kānuka, te wera honi o te awatea Mānuka rānei. Hei kaiwhakarite, kāore au e "whiwhi" noa i ngā kai; ka tatari au kia tae ki te wā e eke ai ngā pūhui pūngao me te oranga o te tipu ki te taumata tino tiketike.
Te Matatika o te Haumiringa
He kirimana tapu te hauhake ngaherehere. Ka whāia e mātou te tikanga "kohikohi whakahirahira" – e arahina ana e ngā mātāpono o te Kaitiakitanga me te Tikanga. I roto i taku awheawhe, kāore mātou e huti katoa i te tipu. Ka tangohia noa e mātou te "toenga," kia mau tonu te mauri o te tipu mātua. He whakapau kaha tēnei ki te waiho i te ngahere kia kaha ake i tō mātou kitenga ake.
Te Haumiringa Motuhake me ngā Wāhi Kohikohi
E whakapono ana mātou he kaha anō mātou ki te whānau e tū ngātahi ana mātou. Kia mau tonu te tika o ngā kai, ka mahi tahi mātou me ngā tarahiti Māori me ngā kaiwhakatipu toihi e tino kaitiaki ana i ō rātou whenua.
Waitahanui Apiaries: Mai i te pūmanawa puia o te Central Plateau, ka kohia e mātou te honi mata me te wāhi pī. Ko tā rātou piripono ki te "Tino Rangatiratanga Ngaherehere" e whakarite ana ka mau ngā kai i puta mai i te pī i te wairua o te ngahere tūturu kāore i pāngia.
Opepe Farm Fresh Milk (Opepe Farm Trust): Ka whakanuia ō mātou kawa miraka e te Opepe Farm Trust, he kaihautū i roto i ngā mahi ahuwhenua toitū, waro-kore. Ko tā rātou rapunga whakaaro e tautoko ana i te mana me te oranga o ngā whenua me ngā tāngata o te hikuwai o Taupō.
Lavender: I kohia mai i [Taupō']. Ka hauhake mātou i ngā pūawai o runga ka tino matotoru te hinu kakara, kia mau tonu te kakara hōhonu, tūturu.
Kawakawa: I rāoa mai i [Whanganui]. Ka kōwhiria e mātou ngā rau "i ngaua e te wairua" – ngā mea i kōwhiria e te purehurehu kopikopiko – e whakaputa ana i te tipu kia nui ake ngā pūhui rongoa.
He nui ake te whakamahi a taku tane i tenei hopi i ahau kia tika. He ataahua te kakara. He mea hou, kaore i te kaha. Ka tino pai te kiri i muri i te whakamahi. Ka mau hoki enei aaaggeess ki te haere!
I nga wa katoa ka tino mataku ahau ki nga hua maori mai i nga wa katoa ka pa te kino o taku kiri ki a raatau. Engari koinei te waitohu tuatahi kaore ano kia pakaru kino. Titiro whakamua ki te noho rite
