Last year we planted a quince tree. It produced ONE big quince and this ONE quince hung on through all the storms and all the rain and was made into beautiful sweet quince jelly. Thank you little quince tree! 💕

Have you done your yoga today? What does your spinal twist look like? Can you do it like Lizzy does it?😅

Autumn is harvesting and preserving time. Plums, plums, plums… frozen, dehydrated, stewed, jam etc. It’s good to be a team! 😊

The hills are alive with the sound of chainsaws. Everybody is busy with the clean up. We are just so grateful that we didn’t get hurt or have major damage. Kia kaha everyone. ❤️

Stay at Mercury Orchard for the Tuia 250 commemoration and start your day with some liquid sunshine!

Dive into the history of New Zealand for a weekend. It is 250 years since Captain James Cook's historic visit to Mercury Bay/Te Whanganui-o-Hei. Tuia - Encounters 250 is the nationwide commemoration...

Redecoration of the Paua Bach completed! Yeah! 🤩 Just in time to start the new season!

19/04/2019

Our Paua Bach has a new feature! A beautiful piece of polished Macrocarpa Burl.

The new table was designed and built to match the chairs by Roger Harwood from Corowood.

Check out the video in the comments of when he put the first coat of oil on the wood - magic!

Our Easter guests will be the first ones to enjoy this unique piece of furniture.

Roger does custom built wood art. If you have a project in mind, get in touch with him, I‘m sure he will have the perfect piece of wood for it.

We had a great start yesterday with the reopening of the BIO Base Shop! Thanks to the ones who visited!

The new regular opening hours where the shop will be attended are:
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
from 9am to 3pm

And fruit is always available with the honesty box.

To make sure you don’t miss out on homemade bread, place your order with us the day before until 4pm. We currently offer a mixed whole grain bread (wheat/oats) 500g for $6 each.

If you don’t know were we are, you find us on 141 Purangi Road, sign Mercury Orchard.
Please use the little shop gate towards the paddock.

You might have passed by before without knowing we are there. 😉
