We have produced over 50,000 Zantadeschia's (Calla's) flowers with Orange, Yellow, Dark Burgundy and Pink hues, this season we have planting 20,000 tubers. We have achieved export certification and supply the local and sell direct for events such as weddings they will be now again be available for direct sales in the early 2008.
Callas are the flower of choice meaning Long Life and Prosperity. We are fortunate to be able to grow the most brilliant colours due to the high levels of strong sunlight and UV in Northland. All or growing beds are above ground so the flowers and bulbs are totally free from disease Also we grow over 6000 Kg of spray free Satsuma Mandarins due for picking mid year and sell direct to retailers and the public. Fruiting trees include Yen Ben Lemons, Berre Limes, Lemonade fruit and Kaffir Lime Leaves for Thai cooks. We also grow Piri piri (Maori) potatoes, delicious hot or cold in salad, full of flavour, dug to order as they are best freshly dig.
In our second vintage, the vineyard is producing pleasing results, we have bottled Stonybrook Shiraz, Merlot on its own. A nice blend of both Shiraz & Merlot to produce an excellent wine, I chose not to have a full bodied high tannin ( bitter) wine, instead making a simple easy drinking wine but full of flavours and its not long before we have to open another bottle! tastes of slight oakiness, honey and cranberry are noticable. the wine retails for $17.50 but case quantities work out at $150.
