• Plants

  We endeavor to grow plants with the seasons and due to our locations' weather conditions (Dunedin, Otago) some plants may not be available year round.

  Please be aware that while we do stock the plants listed there may be the occasional short fall in supply due to either sales or crop/weather failure, in such an occurrence you will be advised on a resupply date.

  ANNUALS many are generally only available during the Spring/Summer months.

  PERENNIALS some are available to purchase year round. Others that die down completely over winter may be held until spring growth shows.

  Please note, if you wish to use any herbs for their medicinal qualities it is advised you consult with a registered herbalist and check with your medical or healthcare professional before commencing any such program.

• Mushrooms

  Our mushroom products are the result of my interest in 'weird' plants (yes I know they are not plants!). I began planting mycologically infected trees (a symbiotic relationship between the tree roots and the fungi) back in 2013 but the success of these fungi are somewhat random and due to the fact they grow underground one cannot actually see how things are progressing until you come across a ‘mushroom’ – in saying that we have been starting to see results of the ‘above ground’ producing fungi! As these fungi cannot be recreated artificially these are truly seasonal and some years are more prolific than others!

  Our fungi mixes include Birch Boletes, Slippery Jacks, Porcini as well as some of the Agaricus species and Giant Puffballs – all add a deep earthy mushroomy flavour to dishes, either when incorporated in the dish or when the mushroom is the star! Dehydrated mushrooms (sliced or powdered) as well as Pickled Boletes (‘Traditional’ and ‘Horopito & Garlic’) are available from the local Farmers Markets we attend until such stock run out for the year.

• Condiments

  Many of the condiments that we produce have originated from products that we either grow or forage for. Many have come about due to research into the historical uses of various plants (including old family recipes!) but some of the flavor combinations were often experimentations that sounded logical to us but simply had yet to be tried!

  All products are crafted in a kitchen that is GLUTEN FREE, EGG FREE & DAIRY FREE*.

  (*On occasion a 'base product' will note that it has been packed in a factory that also packs the afore mentioned products).

  PLEASE NOTE many of these products are seasonal and once sold out will be unavailable until the following year – we will endeavor to update when we can when such occurrences happen!
