About

Certified organic farm, breeding rare breed New Zealand Arapawa sheep.

Story

"Experts say they cannot rule out the possibility that a rare flock of feral sheep found on Arapawa Island in the Marlborough Sounds came from Spanish galleons landing in the 1500s.
It is one of the wilder theories for the sheep's origins but if substantiated, it would rewrite the history books.
Dutchman Abel Tasman is credited as the first European explorer to discover New Zealand, in 1642.
The common thinking was that the sheep came from merino or merino-derived animals from Australia but this theory has been ruled out by researchers tapping into a worldwide genetic project.

The sheep are unlike any other domestic breed in New Zealand.

AgResearch research associate Emily Young traced the sheep's closest relative to the gulf coast native sheep, found in the southern United States.
This gives some credence to the galleons theory, as the gulf coast native sheep came from a mixture of Spanish breeds introduced in the 1500s."
