Description

After suffering an accident 20 years ago Chris Ashwell could no longer drive trucks so, for something to do, he started planting vegetables in his back garden. The joy of growing food quickly turned into an organic market garden business that has spread across 13 hectares of fertile land near Rangiora. His most successful vegetable is the award winning Tuahiwi Gold potato. Chris was given a tonne of the previously unwanted chipping spud and he now has the only seed stock for it in the country.
