We’re busy in the kitchen and on the farm at the moment.
No irrigation needed for this year’s crop-mother nature is most definitely taking care of that – its one of the wettest November’s ever here on the coast.
Our products are out and about- hanging out on shelves in stores around the country- just waiting to be taken home for end of year celebrations.

We’ve put our cranberry beds into winter mode and are working indoors on these dark winter days.
Looking forward to launching our Cranberry Concentrate and our new Cranberry Sauce very soon!

Harvest 2019 has now started, and for the next month or six weeks, we will have fresh cranberries available for sale.
The fruit is tart. Cranberries are naturally tart- about 4% sugar. When you buy trail mix or juice, check the sugar content. Its often 50% or more.
When using cranberries its best to add them to naturally sweet fruit or add honey, stevia or sugar to taste. When baking they work really well as a complement to sweetness- have a look at our recipe page and try cranberries in salads, smoothies, cookies or muffins- yummy!
If mother nature continues to send sunshine and rain in the right amounts then we will begin the 2019 harvest in early April and fresh cranberries will be available for sale until sometime around the end of May.
Please get in touch if you’d like to be on our mailing list- we’ll won’t bug you with emails- but we will let you know about the beginning and end of the fresh season.
And- you can pre-order!

We’ve packed up our harvesting machine and put our punnets away for another year. Its time to let the frosts and rains of South Westland’s winter do their work while we focus on life indoors.
I’m busy in the kitchen making relish and compote and Kevin has the chillier job of completing our new processing shed…Brrrrrr!
Thanks to all who were involved in this year’s harvest and the building project. Its been a great adventure and we’re incredibly grateful to the many friends who’ve been supporting us along the way.
All going to plan we’ll have more productive fruiting beds next year- it won’t extend the season but it will mean there are a few more cranberries to go around!

Handing on the torch.... Just before Christmas Kevin and I took ownership of Tony & Marj Allan's wonderful project- Cranberries Westland. We think its a fascinating and extraordinary business- this business of growing and processing NZ Cranberries. We're settling into life on this lovely little Cranberry farm here on the Old Christchurch Road in Hokitika. Kevin has been working alongside Tony since the harvest in April and I came on board a little later- spending time with Tony in the kitchen and Marj in the office. So off we go- into the new year and the excitement of a new business venture. We wish Tony & Marj the very, very best on their many adventures. No fresh Cranberries to photograph at this time of the year- just these frozen ones,recently made into our first bactch of Cranberry Relish. Customer, friend, grower or just interested? Please don't hesitate to get in touch! Kate Buckley & Kevin Mac Gregor
