About
We are a small and developing family market garden at the feet of the Blue Mountains in West Otago.
Our scale is small and we specifically experiment with heritage and funky varieties to acclimatise for our micro-climate and region. We currently specialise in garlic and raspberries.
While our entire property was fully certified Organic Farm NZ #1477 to March 2022, and while we will be doing absolutely nothing different going forward, for various non-production factors we will not be continuing with certification in the foreseeable future. We are no spray, and use only untreated, non-gmo, heritage, organic or BioGro inputs across all food production.
Our Produce
Fruit and berries
We have awesome heritage sweet raspberries as well as strawberries and currants. We are developing a growing assortment of heritage apples as well as pears. Plums and cherries are taking their time to come online and are not enjoying the microclimate and wild mood swing weather of recent seasons.
Tubers, roots, legumes, veggies
Red, white and purple heart spuds. Carrots, radish, beetroot. Blue and red kales. Broadbeans and peas. Fruiting: Tomato, pumpkin, squash, courgettes.
xmas trees
Just for fun in a paddock not so suited to food production we have multiple varieties of xmas trees. Alaska Spruce, Oregon, and Radiata. We are playing with the idea of pick your own if you are passing through West Otago, or we can select a charming individual for you when we deliver to towns.
Herbs and flowers
We try to always have good fodder for all our bees and bug allies. Our list of culinary, health and amenity herbs and flowers is growing.
