The Duncan family have been farming Otiwhiti in the Turakina River valley since the 1860s when they purchased the land from the local iwi. The backstory of the station is rich and fascinating, telling both the story of farming this unforgiving hill country and the remarkable family who have put their generosity and farm profits towards charitable projects, most notably the Duncan Hospital, which pioneered treatment for polio patients in the 1940s and 1950s. Centering on Tom (T.A.) Duncan, and his wife Jeannie, the founders and driving forces behind the Duncan Trust, the book chronicles the fortunes of the farm from the turn of last century to the present day, and the story of the Duncan Hospital. Family anecdotes and tales about the legendary personalities associated with Otiwhiti and its sister farm Otairi pepper the text.Part family history, part social and farming history, Otiwhiti Station is an engaging look at a New Zealand family who is not only deeply connected to its local community but has also made a difference to the well-being of the country as a whole.
