OUR FRUIT GROWERS

At Anathoth we proudly support local growers and purchase New Zealand fruit first and foremost. We use apricots and plums from Central Otago; raspberries from the original Anathoth farm in Nelson; blackcurrants from Canterbury, citrus fruits from Poverty Bay and strawberries from even further North.

If there is a shortage and we have supplemented with fruit from other countries, we always tell you. Just check our jam labels to find out where our fruit has come from.  When we purchase international fruit we do so in a global marketplace under strict quality assurance criteria and only through approved, reputable trading houses.

Given our local growers are so important to our jam, we thought you might like to learn a little more about them. We chatted to Stephen Jeffery from Fairview Orchard, where we purchase the premium apricots that we use for Anathoth jams and chutneys.
