Our Adriatic Figs by Daniela Aebli...

The idea...to send the talented Daniela Aebli some of our young Adriatic figs for her to capture some rustic and simple imagery for us. The result. Perfect.

What a privilege it was to be featured in the March issue of Capital Magazine who ran a piece on 'Mates across the Strait' focusing on local Marlborough producers who firmly believe in provenance.

We love our little roadhouse. It's an opportunity for us to share our ripe, lush fruit every day of the week (weather permitting for picking!) with both locals and visitors to our region.

What a season! After a long ripening period and sun-drenched days we enjoyed a season with plentiful, ripe and juicy fruit.

Figs, figs and more figs! The 2018 season has begun …

The orchard is well and truly in full swing and we have an abundance of beautifully ripe and juicy figs available. The season began a number of weeks ahead of last season thanks to a lovely warm and sun-drenched ripening season.

2017, that's a wrap!

Our fig and feijoa season has come to an end for the year. A season with a delayed start due to rain and reduced sunshine hours across the region meant our production was down on previous years but the fruit still tasted as BEAUTIFUL as ever.
