Bay Blue - Delicious HB Grown Berries

19/07/2026

💙At Bay Blue, we're committed to growing delicious Hawke's Bay blueberries to the highest standards of quality, food safety, and environmental care.

We're proud to support fair international trade, but we're also passionate about protecting New Zealand's world-leading biosecurity.

We're concerned about MPI's proposed Import Health Standard, which would allow fresh blueberry imports from five countries under requirements that are less stringent than those New Zealand growers are expected to meet.

We believe decisions of this importance should be guided by the strongest science and biosecurity protections, while maintaining the high standards New Zealand growers work hard to achieve.

Thank you for supporting local growers and for trusting Bay Blue to deliver premium New Zealand blueberries.

Our smallest employees are back on the job! 🐝💙

The humble bumblebees begin work in the fields today, and we couldn’t do it without them.

As they buzz from flower to flower, they’re hard at work pollinating our blueberry bushes, one of the most important jobs on the farm.

Here’s to another season, and to our hardest-working little team members. 🫐🐝
