You’ve heard of mashed spuds, but have you ever tried smashed spuds? These cheesy beauties will leave you licking your fingers and coming back for more – don’t count on any leftovers! We like to use our Baby Golden Gourmets, but they would also work well using our classic Golden Gourmet too. Happy smashing!

All eyes on Oakley’s last weekend at the FGS NZ VegFest 2019 here in Christchurch. We proudly sponsored this event, providing Golden Gourmets, broccoli and candy beetroot to be cooked up by a guest chef. It was a great day spent promoting the goodness that veggies offer our bodies 🧘🏻‍♀️ The organisers did a stellar job and providing top notch music, food vendors, cooking demos and art displays. Check out some of the Oakley’s team who came along to join in the fun ✨

We were joined by some other wonderful food vendors too such as @viberi_organic @bennettonaturalfoods @edencherryjuice .

Get a farm dog they said, it’ll be fun they said. This snap was taken after Robin lost the resident pooch in the spud paddock yesterday. Thank goodness her head popped out of the canopy!

Did we mention that we had the absolute pleasure of meeting @nadialimcooks this week? She’s come out with a fantastic new recipe book called “Vegful” which pays homage to everything plant based and tasty. We love talking to like minded people who share our vision for a healthier Aotearoa 🙌🏻🥔❤️

What a night! Robin Oakley and daughter April headed to the @potatoes_nz “November Means New Potatoes” event at @hopetounalpha.
We shared our story with New Zealand’s best food writers, chefs and photographers. We even got to meet our girl @nadialimcooks and hear about her tasty new book “Vegful.” ❤️ We were treated to a spudtacular meal and an edible garden by incredible @littlewolfbite which showed off the power house spud.
Thank you to all who learnt about our family farming, whole foods and sustainability.
Shout out to @wallacechapman for being our wonderful MC and @accordiontracey for the beautiful music.
We’re excited to engage and partner with a community to achieve our vision of healthier communities together.

Last week Oakley’s teamed up with @farmlandsnz to sponsor the @ellesmere_aandp_spring_show Muster Chef Schools Challenge Competition 🥦🥔This year six different schools within the Selwyn District competed on the culinary stage in a cook-off and also created a show themed poster. We love seeing young people get creative with locally grown produce and learn about the goodness fresh veggies can offer them 🌱

How do Oakley’s produce the steadiest supply and highest quality of broccoli year-round? By using the best farming equipment of course! Check out the new kid on the block, a custom made Italian broccoli transplanter just for us by @checchiemagli 🥦🇮🇹
Our team are all quite stoked with the new edition to the whānau, check out Lachlan, Lucas and Kent on the back giving it a whirl 👀 This bad boy will ensure we are planting reliably and accurately so we can deliver the freshest broccoli when kiwis need it 👨‍🌾🚜
