Our fruits are pure and full of wonders because they are fed by our volcanic soil's rich minerals. Our berries are caressed by the winds, ripened by the sunshine, protected by the bush, and kissed by the bees surrounding them. Yes, that’s us. New Zealanders…In love and passionate about the land. Harry and Anne planted their first blueberry blocks in 1982. The venture into blueberries was not always an easy one; Harry and Anne received advice from multiple sources on how best to grow blueberries, mostly contradictory. Eventually, they decided that they would plant little seedlings, which weren’t more than bare twigs in rows. After months of diligently watching the twigs do barely anything at all, they finally leaped to life as spring came around, with tiny little shoots eventually becoming visible. Through the eighties and nineties, the farm grew steadily, and with perseverance and a real passion to produce quality blueberries, it has continued to thrive. They developed the gooseberry plantation on one-sixth of a hectare and removed all the unsuccessful plantings. In 1999 they planted another 2 ha 2000 new plantings. In 2015 preparations for building another block of 6,500 blueberry bushes began with the first harvest in 2021, 6 years after the initial preparation was started. The farm is now also home to son Phillip, his wife, Michaela, and their three children. A black cat called Blackie, ensures the smooth running of day-to-day matters! Blueberry farming has become a family enterprise, a great place to work and live. It is a passion that drives the family to continuously strive for more innovative ways to farm, keeping sustainability at the forefront of everything they do and produce.
