This includes locally grown oats, South Island linseed, walnuts and hazelnuts from Uncle Joe's in Marlborough, Airborne honey from Central Otago and Arataki honey from Hawke's Bay.”Christine and her husband Mike Millar took over Something to Crow About in 2014 and produce a range of cereals and seed toppers from their idyllic base at Whangaparaoa just north of Auckland.Something to Crow About is driven by the couple’s belief that life is best lived with honesty and integrity.
