Our blueberries may be small, but they’re one of the world’s most nutrient dense foods – full of vitamins and minerals.
Our blueberries are always in season
Our blueberries are grown in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region in New Zealand’s North Island. Production from our own farms is supplemented by our network of growers who are passionate about blueberries. We grow a range of different varieties that allow us to supply our markets in Australia and across Asia from December through to early April. These varieties fit inside our 12-month supply strategy for our Darling Blueberries brand, by providing customers with large, sweet and juicy blueberries for everyone to enjoy year-round. Darling Group uses its established relationships with retailers and importers to ensure the best possible returns for our growers.
