Grant Muir We need it up and running again ASAP. Sustainable industry!

Jeff Sutherland very little flax left around Birchfield now, many 'farm' paddocks by the sea have been replanted in flax, cabbage tree and other natives, the small reamaining wetlands are protected these days,,, and rightly so

Noeline McCaughan Err...Hemp? no Phormium tenax (N.Z.Flax) was the material used.
