PREMIUM STRAWBERRIES GROWN IN MARLBOROUGH NEW ZEALAND

We are growers of premium strawberries in Blenheim, Marlborough.

We aim to:
"produce the best quality strawberries in New Zealand and to get them to the customer as fresh as possible."

14,000 visitors come each year to buy strawberries from our farm gate.

Every year we are the first strawberry growers in New Zealand to produce fruit. In 2010 we were in full production by the end of August! Snow on the peaks around us didn't worry the healthy plants growing in a snug and natural environment in the glass house. Beautiful big spray-free fruit with intense flavour are available from August through January.

Our Strawberry Shed theme shop is open from 9am to 5pm Tuesday to Sunday and from 1pm to 5pm on Monday. We can receive groups and special visits by arrangement outside these hours.

Look for the big red strawberry as you walk up the path to our picnic area and shop. We serve delicious ice-creams and frozen yoghurt flavoured with our own fruit. Enjoy a game of French petanque on our mini court and you are welcome to bring your own picnic to our gardens. Refreshments and gifts available in our shop.

If you would like a comprehensive tour through the hydroponics call in advance 03 578 52 68. 15 minute tour and tasting from the plant $5 per person.

Of course our strawberries are available for sale at the farm gate.

This is the home of the famous DESIRE King berry, much appreciated by caterers and restaurant chefs and available at selected urban outlets in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.

You can order Mary's recipe book The Strawberry Recipe Collection, featuring our favourite ways of eating strawberries. The 32 page full colour book costs $12 plus postage.

Great start to our strawberry season

We have been selling strawberries since the 15th of August!
In 2010 we opened a new shop with a cute strawberry theme and our visitors can enjoy our own Real Fruit ice-creams in the garden.

To welcome visitors we have created a huge red strawberry on the path leading up to the complex. You can't miss it!

There's lots of parking for camping cars and buses.

Our new strawberry STAR is called DESIRE - it is the brand name of the very big (up to 60 grams!) king fruit which is juicy and sweet from top to tip.

We have our own strawberry jam and rich dairy free chocolate sauce for sale in the shop!

Mary's recipe book "The Strawberry Recipe Collection" features her favourite recipes collected around the world. Strawberries in all its forms.  $ 12 plus postage. A 32 page full colour publication that will give you great ideas for preparing strawberries for young and old!

Strawberry Season open NOW!!!!!

The early warm days and sunny weather we have had through August has helped the first strawberries ripen fast, and they are now available for you.
Come and celebrate the end of winter and the arrival of the warmth of springtime in Marlborough. 


Some of our eager customers have been watching keenly for our open sign and have been streaming in the gate all day.  Its great to see so many familiar faces.

Come and see us at our Rene St gate (of Old Renwick Rd). 

Our opening hours are   8.30 am till 5 pm Monday to friday
9.30 am till 5 pm Saturdays

You can also pick up our strawberries from Blenheim New World, to be followed shortly by other supermarkets as we have more berries available.  But if you visit us at our farm gate, as always, we guarantee all first grade berries are picked and packed the same day.  No one else will offer that guarantee!

Be one of the first in this season and remember to brag to your friends that Marlborough have the earliest locally grown strawberries available in the country... oh and the BEST!

Come enjoy the Marlborough Farmers Market


We have been at the Farmers market since late November, and we really enjoy the relaxed friendly atmosphere each Sunday morning. It has been great to see so many of our regulars at the market, when we generally have a bit more time to chat.

For those of you who haven't been to the Market, I highly recommend coming along one Sunday. It is a great place to find some quality, fresh local produce, as well as pick up a cooked Sunday Breakfast and cup of coffee. All in all a brilliant way to start a lazy Marlborough Sunday.

While you are there, make sure you visit Wayne at the Fruit freeze stall. His freezes are 100% real fruit (we can vouch for the quality of the strawberries) and taste great on the hot summer morning we have been having.

Fantastic fresh strawberry recipe

I was just having a mid morning snack, and enjoying it so much that I thought I would share it with you. This is a fast, easy recipe that is pretty good for you.

All you need is a couple of slices of your favourite toast bread, some cream cheese, and a few of the freshest, tastiest strawberries you can find (ahem.. Hedgerows;-)

Toast the bread, spread generously with the cream cheese and top with the sliced strawberries. All done, now Enjoy!
