We jumped on the ’80s family photo trend…

Big hair, bold prints, double denim and five kids looking like they’ve just stepped out of an old photo album.

And then there’s John… who apparently didn’t need to be changed at all 🤣

Shallots, shallots, shallots

We’ve got plenty of beautiful shallots available at the moment — and according to our newest quality controller, Piper, they’re looking pretty good. 😂

Sweet, full of flavour and seriously delicious, they’re one of those ingredients that make everything better.

Need shallots?
You can find us on Upstock, or simply flick us a message and we’ll get you sorted.

And yes… Piper is only 6 months old and already knows her way around the shallot line. 🤍

Jess and John finally getting their hands dirty 🧄🧤

The bosses might usually be behind the scenes, but today they’re right in the thick of it—pitching in, getting messy and helping make another batch of black garlic goodness. Leading by example, one bucket at a time!

We’re into the final stages of planting our 2027 Marlborough garlic crop – and so far, so good! 🌱🧄

As we look ahead, we’re keen to hear from growers interested in future cropping opportunities. If you’re looking to diversify or explore a new crop, we’d love to have a conversation.

We have strong market opportunities and enjoy working alongside passionate growers to produce premium New Zealand vegetables.

300 weeks ago we started building something together.

Not just a garlic and shallot business, but a life that combines family, farming, hard work, and shared goals.

Working together as a couple isn’t always straightforward, but it’s been a rewarding journey. We’ve shared the early starts, long days, challenges, opportunities, and plenty of problem-solving along the way.

A huge thank you to our family, friends, customers, suppliers, and everyone who has supported us over the past 300 weeks. We genuinely appreciate the encouragement and support you’ve given us.

We’re also excited about where things are heading. We’re currently working on a new direction focused on partnering with other local people who are passionate about growing and producing quality food, just as we are. There’s still plenty to do, but we’re looking forward to what the next few years bring.

Exciting times ahead. 🧄🌱

A huge thank you to Murphy’s NZ, proud sponsor of our Community Pillar Award at the Marlborough Community & Volunteer of the Year Awards.

The Community Pillar Award recognises a volunteer whose contribution has made a lasting and meaningful difference across our community — someone whose service, reliability, generosity, and commitment help hold things together in ways that may not always be loud or visible, but are deeply felt.

These are the people who show up, pitch in, support others, and help strengthen the organisations, groups, and causes that make Marlborough such a special place to live.

➡ "Murphy’s NZ is proud to sponsor the Community Pillar Award.

We enjoy volunteering ourselves and love seeing first-hand the difference that community organisations make to people’s lives.

Everyone can contribute something — whether it’s a helping hand, sharing their expertise, or making a donation. There is so much good being done behind the scenes.

Community pillars are the people who bring others together, make things happen and create positive change for everyone. They strengthen our community and help Marlborough thrive, and we’re thrilled to celebrate the people who make that happen." ✨

We are so grateful to Murphy’s NZ for helping us celebrate one of these incredible community champions and for recognising the vital role volunteers play in building a connected, caring, and resilient Marlborough.

There are still some award categories available for sponsorship. If your business would like to help celebrate Marlborough’s amazing volunteers and community organisations, we’d love to hear from you.

And for members of the public who would like to support the awards, you can contribute $50 and have your name listed as a supporter of this special community event.

Please contact Volunteer Marlborough to find out more.

Hot day for a garlic harvest, the sun was on our back,

Thistles weren’t invited, but they still tried to attack.

Hard work made much lighter, and spirits full of cheer,

With Jessie’s mum there helping, we were glad to have her here.
