Suzan Craig’s passion for beekeeping runs in the family, dating back many generations when her great-uncles began one of New Zealand’s first honey-producing companies, circa 1888.
Inspired by her deep respect for nature and an understanding of its fragility, Suzan is often referred to as a ‘guardian’ by the people of Tahi, after she chose to care for this special place and bring it back to life. A founding member of The Long Run Global Ecosphere Retreats, Suzan has a deep-rooted connection to Tahi – and is not afraid to do the hard mahi (work) to bring the company’s sustainable philosophy to life.
Today, Tahi is a restored, biodiversity-positive nature sanctuary, a self-sustaining business where nature can benefit everyone. By embedding The Long Run’s 4Cs – conservation, culture, community and commerce – into every decision made, Suzan is guiding the way for positive-impact land management.
