You can’t miss it, on the way in from the south to the alpine town of Ōhākune, in the central North Island of New Zealand….a sign that welcomes you to where adventures begin - and a giant (and we’re talking giant - think 7.5 metres) carrot.  Welcome to Ōhākune, where adventures begin, and where there’s great and deserved tribute paid to impressive kiwi vegetables and a proud history of market gardening.
