As the saying goes they loved the product so much they bought the company, moved home and boy are we lucky they did!They love to explore new places, and meet people. They lived in Singapore for 8 years, spent 6 months traveling Australia in a caravan with their kids, and did a 2-month motorcycle trip around the US all of this now a distant memory.Teena says they don’t miss being able to travel at the moment as the business is keeping them busy and inspired. Plus they get to meet lots of people as they travel NZ promoting their black garlic range.They live on 5 hectares on Neudorf Road, with 6 pet Alpacas, which keep them amused. You will be able to meet the Alpacas as well as Teena and Noël at the Moutere Artisans day – lots of fun for kids and adults alike.Check out their Black Garlic Molasses Cookies Recipe. Share Email
