EARLY RISERS: Gisborne is the first city in the world to see the sun - and the keen local growers who sell their wares at the local farmers' market are often up in time to watch it rise

摘要

Jon Wichersand his wife Tania call their Wairoa farm Early Bird - and with good reason. Every Saturday for the past year, the couple have been selling their Bio-Gro certified produce at the Gisborne flea market, then taking down that stall and setting up at the nearby farmers' market. As their Wairoa property is an hour and a halt's drive from Gisborne, and the flea market starts "at the crack of dawn", it makes for a busy day, leaving the farm at 3am.
