About Us
Our Story
Growing up on the West Coast at Baylys Beach /Dargaville, a passion for the farming and horticulture sectors has been instilled in us from an early age. We’re a family owned farming operation, with James (the green fingers) and Krista (the admin guru) both actively involved within the business, balancing (or you might say juggling) farm family life with our two young daughters in tow. We primarily grow Kumara and more recently, Garlic among our two farm locations on the outskirt of the Kumara capital town of Dargaville. We manage a total of 129 hectares of land and are farming a mixture of approximately 200 beefies all year around and 500 sheep (fattening) during the Winter months.

Our Vision
Diversification
We’re excited to diversify our farming kete, with our resident Green-Finger James pursuing the dream of adding Garlic to our cropping mix post the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle.
We’re immensely proud to be growing Garlic in Rural Northland on the West Coast!
Inspire and Showcase
Our hope is to tantalize New Zealanders taste buds and inspire cooking enthusiasts - whether that’s getting our produce from the Garlic field to the heart of every home and being part of your dinner table conversations, or showcasing our delicious Garlic on the menu of restaurants across New Zealand.
Sustainable Produce
We are rural people who are passionate about growing and eating nutritional and sustainable produce, not only for our family but for New Zealanders a like.
