Spotted something new on the shelves at your local recently? 👀

Our Lemon, Lime & Bitters has officially made its way into supermarkets!

Originally developed for trade, you lot had other ideas... and after plenty of demand, we figured it was only fair to let everyone else in on it too.

Find it at Farro, FreshChoice nationwide, selected New World stores and PAK’nSAVE stores across the South Island!

In the capital this weekend? Even better. Come and try it for yourself at the Wellington Food Show! Mark will be holding the fort at Stand 275 from Friday through Sunday, with plenty of Lemon, Lime & Bitters to try before you buy.

See you there! 💚

Next week, you'll find the wonderful Mark holding down the fort at Stand R21, with plenty of tasters on hand and a few extra yarns thrown in for good measure.

If you're making your annual lap of the show, pop by and say hello. We'd love to catch up with some familiar faces and meet a few new ones too !!

Thursday 23 July | 10am–5pm

Last week was certainly one of highs and lows here at The Limery.

We started the week celebrating the final bins of fruit picked for the season on the Howard family's local orchard, complete with a very delicious morning tea shout baked by 9-year-old Maddi (pictured alongside her dad Tim). It was a wonderful way to mark another successful harvest and to recognise the contribution of one of our valued local growers!

Just a few days later, Friday's heavy rain brought floodwaters back through our property once again.

While we're incredibly grateful the damage wasn't as severe as last time, it's still left us with a massive clean-up. From clearing silt and debris to thawing out our freezer after floodwater froze our IBCs to the floor, it certainly wasn't how we imagined spending our Matariki weekend.

The good news is we're still here, and we're still trading!

A huge shout-out to our incredible local Fire and Emergency crew, who gave up their time to help wash away mud, clear debris and get us back on our feet. We simply couldn't have done it without you.

To our staff, neighbours, growers and everyone who has checked in or offered support over the past few days, we can't thank you enough. 💚

Another harvest in the books! 🍋‍🟩

The season started more than three weeks earlier this year and was our biggest one yet, thanks to the added contributions of our local Wairoa growers.

Throughout the season, our limes changed colour. What began as a deep, vibrant green in the February and March picks gradually softened to lime green in April before yellowing off through May and June.

These later months are prime time for juicing, when the brix is high and the juice abundant!

Massive shout-out to our growers and workers for all their mahi over this season. 💚

Two products. Two golds. Not a bad day at the office!! 🏆🏆

Stoked to share that our 100% Pure Lime Juice and 100% Pure Lemon Juice have both been awarded GOLD at the 2026 Outstanding Food Producer Awards.

Described by judges as:

“Vibrant, fresh and zingy. Judges love the natural flavour. Nice to have a great, natural, true product.” - 100% Pure Lime Juice and

“Bright, fresh, zingy. Good natural flavour, well preserved without compromising the authenticity of the fruit.” - 100% Pure Lemon Juice

It sure is moments like this that remind us why we do what we do. Grateful for the mahi, our crew have been putting in behind it all, and for you lot who keep us going.

Di & The Limery team. 💚

Was awesome to host and kōrero with Dr David Wilson (MP NZ First, and spokesperson for small business), Benita Cairns (Deputy Mayor of Wairoa), and Lewis Ratapu (CEO of Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa) on Wednesday at the Limery.

Sent them off with a taste of what we do… and if you’ve got a sharp eye, you might just spot a little sneak peek of what’s coming next 👀

We’re heading south for the Christchurch , and this year we’re parked up at Stand B17, right by the Cooking Theatre (strategic positioning if you ask us).

Whether you’re heading there to snack your way through, stock your pantry with the best of the local produce, or just in need of a yarn, Mark’s holding down the fort and would love to see some friendly faces!

Friday 27 March | 10–5
Saturday 28 March | 10–5
Sunday 29 March | 10–4

See you at B17 💛

Because two carrot cakes are better than one.

Especially when it’s fluffy, spiced just right, and topped with lemon cream cheese icing.

No one at afternoon tea is saying no to this.
