The farm, about 60km southwest of Dunedin, is now about 380ha — more than three times the size it was when the family bought it in 1919. During their time on the farm, George and Ettie had six children — Mona, George, Jean, Eileen, Allan and Alec. In 1932, the family bought an 185ha neighbouring farm to expand the operation to more than 300ha. Up until this time all farm work was done using horses — a mix of Clydesdales and hacks.
