Small is beautiful, according to Kerikeri blueberry growers Justin Topzand and Buffy McNicholas. The couple have built up their Blue River blueberry business over the past 16 years after leaving Wellington city life for a dream of living off the land.
Topzand was a film camera operator whose last job was working on the Lord of the Rings movies.
