Supplier Background

Like many small New Zealand businesses, this now thriving export business started as a cottage industry. It began in 1996, with two North Canterbury farming friends, Gay Rutherford and Alison Meyer, taking old family recipes which were used for preserving the surplus ripe fruit from the summer harvest as the basis for their fruit pâté recipes.

“We are about innovative food products and fantastic taste experiences.”

Recognizing an exciting opportunity, their vision was simply to take something that had been enjoyed in the farm kitchens of North Canterbury and share it with others, both within New Zealand and other parts of the world.
