Aphrodite’s Farm

This delightful narrative short tells the story of Aphrodite’s Farm—situated at the base of Mount Taranaki on New Zealand’s North Island—which produces a miraculous milk that cures the infirm, prolongs youth and enhances fame. Only the five members of the Riley family know the secret behind the magical elixir. When tragedy strikes, the remaining women try to make due in the face of serious hardship. Although it looks as if everything is lost, help will come from the most unlikely of sources. —EL
