That’s it from me. Catch you next week!Moutohora Estate is a multi award winning olive grove situated in the sand dunes of Thornton, 15km west of Whakatane and 8 km southwards of Whale Island (Moutohora). In 2011 Moutohora Estate won the Supreme New Zealand Award of Best in Show.
We converted the previously existing vineyard gradually into an olive grove, now comprising of 800 olive trees. We started to produce olive oil solely in 2008.
The light sandy soils of the dunes, the gentle sea breeze and the high sunshine hours, together with the organic management of the grove, selective and careful hand pickings and immediate pressings are all attributes that have contributed to the high quality of the multiple award winning oils.
The olive grove is open to visitors by appointment only and our products are available in local retail outlets, markets and for order on line.
For more information please contact Gerrit or Wil Kruithoed.
We bought our small property in 2006, with about 450 young, and mostly horizontal, olive trees. The first few years were driven by ignorance and enthusiasm, until we finally had some trees grown and cropping. Then the aim became to do better. Along the way we bought an Enorossi 250 olive press and constructed a licensable facility from which to run it. At last we think we are hitting our straps! The trees look better than they have ever looked and the press is operating most successfully; both with thanks substantially to some excellent and instructive workshops run by Olives NZ.
After three years of being awarded a silver medal for our oil, in 2019 we reached the gold standard! Our oil is mild with a good balance of fruit and some pepper in the finish. In 2019 we also introduced a couple of flavoured oils to broaden our repertoire; garlic and basil, and lemon and fennel. Both have been well received at our regular market.
We also keep a few olives aside for the production of our Table Olives. And to keep ourselves busy we produce jams and chutneys from the bounty of our property.

If you rely on caffeine and other pick-me-ups just to help you throughout the day, then the crash you experience at the end of it can be incredibly draining and make it impossible for you to get a good night’s rest.
If you crave sleep then we’re here to help. In this article, we’re going to show you a couple of proven ways that can help you sleep better at night. Whether you work long hours or have to take care of demanding children, you’ll find plenty of fantastic tips here to help you out.
Sleeping can be difficult for some, but with a bit of advice, it can become a simple routine to wake up feeling refreshed in the morning.
People don’t realize just how important a bedtime routine is. It helps your body and mind wind down and the longer you practice it, the more consistent it will be at helping you fall asleep. Don’t neglect the power of a well-practised bedtime routine. Whether it’s something as simple as taking a shower or bath before bed, or drinking a warm cup of milk before you get into bed, it can do wonders.
Make sure you sleep at consistent times. Don’t sleep for 6 hours one night then only 4 the next because you decided to stay up later to watch a film. Try to fall asleep and wake up the exact same time every single day. The harder you try this, the easier it will be for your body to develop a natural sleep cycle.
Long naps aren’t that great for you. As per the tip above, they’ll ruin your sleeping pattern and the swings in your health can be detrimental. Stick to a regular sleeping pattern and try not to take naps. If you absolutely have to, then limit them to a couple of minutes or half an hour, no more. If you need to rely on naps to get through the day, then it’s possible that you’re just not getting enough sleep.
The way you sleep can have a profound impact on the quality of your sleep, which is why it’s important to examine the way you lay down.
Did you know that screen time at night can drastically affect the quality of sleep we get? It’s true; limiting screen time is incredibly effective at helping you get a good night’s rest because the are sleep-inducing hormones that are suppressed by the lights that are given off by devices like tablets and smartphones. The less you use electronics at night, the easier it will be to sleep.
You’ll also want to remove any electronics from your bedroom. The idea is to keep your bedroom for sleeping at nothing else. If you start working in your bedroom or using your laptop on your bed, then you’re just going to end up associating your work or your play with your bedroom. Keep electronics out–even your smartphone!
When taken in moderation, caffeine can actually be great for you. However, it does have some negative side effects especially when it comes to sleep. Caffeine taken a few hours before bedtime can have drastic effects on your sleep. To make things worse, trying to cut caffeine out of your system will make you feel increasingly sleepy and potentially give you headaches because of the withdrawal symptoms. If you’re serious about getting better quality sleep, then make sure you cut down on your caffeine intake in the evening before you sleep.
Is your alarm your worst enemy in the morning? You’ll be surprised at just how helpful it can be to disable that snooze button.
Comfort is important in the bedroom and your mattress is the object you sleep on every single night. If it’s not comfortable and doesn’t support your body, then you’re going to wake up feeling sore, your muscles will ache and your entire body will disagree with you. Get yourself a more expensive and more comfortable mattress–it’s well worth the money.
There’s a reason why hotels offer a pillow menu to their guests. Pillows can help create a comforting and relaxing environment if you allow them to. You’ll need to try out different pillows to see which one supports you the best. Some pillows are more springy, some will mould to the shape of your head, and others will help to support your neck while you sleep. The right pillow can make a world of difference, so try out different ones whenever possible to see which ones help you get a good night’s sleep.
There’s a lot of power in scents, and aromatherapy is your ticket to a good night’s sleep. Some scents can just be misted on your pillows while others can be rolled on. There are other ways to harness these scents too, such as using a diffuser or putting a few drops of the oils into your bath or during your shower. The scents will relax you, they’ll put you in a comfortable state of mind and will ultimately give you a good night’s rest.
These are all great ideas that can help you sleep better at night, but you’ll need to turn some of them into habits and they might not work the first time. For instance, you might have difficulty adjusting to a new mattress on the first night, and cutting down on caffeine could initially make it even harder for you to get a good night’s rest. However, stick with them and you’ll find that these are healthy habits that you should have developed years ago.
PreviousReturning to Education is Always an Option!A Quick History of Body Armor. There is nothing new to the concept of using some type of device to shield oneself from an enemy's attack. Indeed, the word'shield' itself also refers to devices one would hold in front of oneself, to protect against the enemy's sword or other weapon.
Tlingit warriors wore battle helmets depicting crest animals or ancestors, along with wooden visors, thick leather tunics, and body armor covered with wooden slats or coins. This battle attire combines technology, ingenuity, and symbolic power and protection. The walrus-hide body armor (left), which dates from 1800-1830, is covered with Chinese...
