Harriet Gardner
NAME: HARRIET GARDNER
ROLE: SHEPHERD
PATHWAY: CERTIFICATE IN AGRICULTURE; DIPLOMA IN AGRIBUSINESS MANAGEMENT
Several generations of Harriet's family have farmed their Waimate property, and since 1982 they have carefully breed a unique flock of sheep featuring only black, brown and grey-coloured animals whose wool is now exported all over the world.
Harriet’s official title on the farm is ‘shepherd’ – a position which she says actually means “the person who does most jobs”.
