How awesome is this sign the children at Southbridge School made for us? These talented kids were kind enough to paint the sign for the Southbridge School 150th Jubilee 1868 – 2018 celebrations, which we proudly sponsored. Thumbs up if you think they have a future in graphic design? ??  

Last week the gentlemen from the Rotary Club of Christchurch Sunrise paid us a visit and had a tour of the farm and our packhouse out in Southbridge. Led by Graeme Oakley, father of our founder Robin Oakley, they got to inspect all our machinery and crops up close. They loved having a look at…

Here at Oakleys, we are lucky enough to be able to work with other movers and shakers in our community. Last week we were a proud sponsor of the South Island Vegefest, supplying our golden gourmet potatoes and broccoli for the wonderful event put on by the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple New Zealand 紐西蘭佛光山. Many…

This last week Oakleys were proud to be supporters of the Southbridge School 150th Jubilee 1868 – 2018 Country Fair and Top Team Challenge.

Check out some of the photos of this great event!  …

Here at Oakley’s we are beyond excited that our freshly dug new season potatoes are ready to pack into our Golden Gourmet boxes. Why not pop into your local supermarket and get a taste of them for yourself? Photo cred goes out to the big man himself, Robin Oakley.
