New Zealand Organic Grains
The Canterbury Plains are known as the "bread bowl" of New Zealand. Grains grow particularly well in the fertile silt loam soils of this fload plain. Dry warm weather with access to ample irrigation allows crops to maximize their growth and mature well. Claridges Organic contracts farmers to grow organic grains for the New Zealand and export market.
