Notes on Aotearoa
... Vineyard and factory work such as frozen meat works and Heinz-Watties locally.
Cheese and milk, and lamb is bloody expensive considering the amount of fields of cows and milk you have to drive past to get anywhere. I understand this is because it gets exported and locals have to pay jumped up prices, even though they live next door to the field where the lamb grew up.
