Spring is here, and somehow we’ve accumulated a whole lot more fruit trees! 🌱🍎

Four new apple varieties, a quince, sour cherry, peach, three different blueberry cultivars and some rosehip—all joining our growing food forest.

Early spring is a great window to get fruit trees into the ground while they’re still dormant, giving them a chance to settle in before spring growth takes off and warmer weather arrives.

A little planting now, plenty to look forward to in the seasons ahead 🌳

Wednesdays are the most chilled days at HQ - a day to get cleaning, topping up reservoirs, providing tours and kicking it with some tunes - DJ Chris & Sammy T in the house!! 🎶

This winter nasturtiums have been extra popular with local establishments - they provide that peppery kick to finish off the dish and their striking shield like leaves add to the beauty of each dish. ❄️

Grown in trays with coconut coir so that they can be kept living until the moment they are plated! 🥥🌱

Back to where it all started for Chris and Gibbston Microgreens. Sherwood ! 🙌

Firstly - congrats on the ⭐️ from Michelin Guide. What an achievement. 🤩

ＣＨＲＩＳ ＳＣＯＴＴ and the team draw inspiration from the landscapes we love to call home.

They have an epic market garden which is a part of their garden to table restaurant concept, but during the winter months in Otago it can be hard to produce anything outside. That’s where our year round, climate controlled growtainers provide an alternative solution so that local venues can still access quality locally produced greens. 🌱

Thanks for all the support and be sure to check out Sherwood for a delicious fireside meal this winter. 🔥🍴

We’ve had a few different versions of blood sorrel over the years, but after trailing out a new seed from SPS we have got it down pat in the living punnets. 💛💚❤️

How great do these look !? They offer a distinct, sharp, and lemony citrus flavour and the red veins add a beautiful contrast to the otherwise plain green sorrel leaf. 🌱

During the winter months, the team have been keeping warm and boosting moral by utilising their brazier during coffee breaks. Too early in the day for marshmallows though! 🔥❄️

The Remarkable Fungi team have also been trialing out new varieties, check out the new Snow White Oysters that they are offering as a replacement to the Pink Oysters. 🍄‍🟫

At Gibbston Microgreens, a huge part of our model is the direct personal connection to those that use our products. 🌱

We love to extend the invitation to all of our clients to come visit our farm and let us explain our story and what it is we are trying to do.

Its also a great opportunity for the local chefs to see how much love and effort we implement into our systems and in turn, the final product which we deliver to them weekly.

We always receive great feedback from the teams and we’re always keen to show more people around so get in touch if you’d like a tour. 😃

Enjoy these snaps of the Ayrburn team who visited us at the start of the month on a fresh morning sitting at -3c. We kept ourselves toasty by staying inside our climate controlled growtainers! ❄️

One of our latest additions to the Gibbston Microgreen family is Mt Difficulty 🍷

One of the original wineries out in Bannockburn, we’re thrilled to be showcased amongst other local suppliers at their restaurant.

They just hosted a Black Quail Estate truffle dinner and we for one wish we could have gone ! 🍴

Not only for their great food, but amazing wines too.

Be sure to check them out next time you’re over the hill.
