We came to New Zealand from the UK in 1997 and moved to Feilding in 2004. The name Minffordd originally comes from Wales where we lived for 20 years and had a cottage of the same name when we first married.
The “dd” in Minffordd is pronounced “th” and the word means the beginning of the journey.
We have farmed alpacas since we were here, but are now working towards downsizing and have found them a good home. We planted an orchard which provides us with several different varieties of fruit and we aim to be self sufficient in vegetables, but that has lapsed a bit this year as Jenny was waiting for a hip replacement, which has now been done.
