SOUTH ISLAND blackcurrent company, ViBeri, is ahead of the game when it comes to sustainability, with the largest commercial, certified-organic blackcurrant orchard in New Zealand.
Husband and wife owners, Tony and Afsaneh Howey, have been producing the ViBeri 100 per cent organic offering since 2011.
ViBeri’s philosophy is simple, growing and producing blackcurrant products made the traditional way. That means no pesticides or herbicides are used on their orchard, and the ViBeri product range is also additive and preservative free.
“Right from making sure we’re growing and using the very best fruit, through to overseeing the product creation that customers eventually see in store and enjoy at home, we know there’s no compromise on quality,” explains Tony.
In keeping with their philosophy, ViBeri is on a mission to educate people about the benefits of the black currant super food. With many New Zealand products made using berries sourced oversees, the South Island specialty food company is also ensuring Kiwis are able to source the best produce, grown right at home.
