Mamaku Blue grows deliciously good blueberries and beautiful sharp green gooseberries. This small family orchard is located at Mamaku Plateau. Our bushes are planted in volcanic ash so they can take full benefits of rich mineral soil. Due to our climate berries has to ripen longer, resulting full body flavour of our high bush blueberries. We mainly focus on good tasty varieties that we have been growing since early 1980's. We sell berries fresh, and frozen, but also processed in many products made on site like our PURE 100% juices. Awarded by Outstanding Producers Awards we take pride in what we do and we work hard to ensure our quality harvest can supply your table so you can enjoy it fresh, frozen, juiced or powdered... We do all this with sustainable approach as much as possible, looking at innovative ideas within our budget. We recycle and reuse packaging and work closely with our customers and business partners.
