September 2021 Thriving Southland Newsletter

We hope everyone is doing okay in this busy time of the year - the hints of spring are definitely helping to keep spirits up.

Emily making her mark on Gorge Road family farm

Emily Hamill is making her mark as a fifth generation member on her family farm near Gorge Road in Southland.

The Folly Farm name was in reference to some in the area at the time who thought the patch of land was too rough to break in. Generations of the Hamill family have made light of that notion ever since - Emily’s gre...
