Anna Randall and Daniel Eisenhut believe there’s something magical about mushrooms, and something equally magical about Oamaru. They speak to
Ashley Smyth about their recent move and watching their fledgling business, Waitaki Mushrooms, take off.
For some, last year’s Level 4 lockdown offered time to reflect on priorities and seize opportunities.
Former Aucklanders Anna Randall and Daniel Eisenhut are two of those people.
The couple had previously considered moving south, but were nervous about leaving the bright lights and busyness of city life.
