Unleashing the Southern dream with
Central Otago cherries
Southern Grown NZ is founded by three couples and their families. With deep roots in the South of New Zealand, we set out to share the exceptional taste of Central Otago cherries with the rest of New Zealand and the world year-round.
Proudly made in New Zealand
Flavourful creations
Welcome to Southern Grown NZ, where the taste of the South comes straight to your door. We’re six Southern locals bringing you Central Otago cherries, freeze-dried to perfection. Our cherries preserve the vibrant flavour of our region, grown with care and sustainability in mind.
With decades of orcharding, food innovation and business experience behind us, we deliver top-quality, delicious treats that are perfect for any occasion.
The natural sweetness of our handpicked Central Otago cherries each freeze-dried to lock in its vibrant flavour, ensuring a crunchy texture while maintaining the nutrients and taste of fresh cherry. Treat yourself to a premium snack that blends the best of both worlds—Coated in the dark chocolate offers a bold, decadent flavour that perfectly complements the cherries' sweetness, while the yoghurt coating adds a creamy, lighter twist.
Coming together
Each of our team bring unique skills and a shared passion. Together, the team built Southern Grown NZ on values of family, community, heritage, sustainability, and collaboration.
Southern grown
It’s more than just a business—it’s a celebration of Southern identity and the land we all call home.
