Karen Trafford (and Daryl) are the owner operators of Wangapeka Family Dairy(external link) based in Wakefield. The journey where Karen became a skilled cheesemaker began on the family dairy farm when Karen was asked to provide fresh raw milk for a cheese-making course. This lead to Karen and Daryl moving in a new direction and to pursue a new approach to farming and food. Both from dairy, sheep- and beef-farming backgrounds, they had been milking cows for Fonterra for over two decades and realised that there was merit in a more holistic, quality over quantity approach to farming.
Wangapeka Family Dairy is a holistic farm-to-market dairy business where the key to success is being hands on with everything from pasture to plate (the finished product). Using high-protein milk from a small herd of organically farmed cows, a large range of cheese (from blue to brie) and dairy products using traditional, European methods with a Kiwi twist is distributed locally.
