The Meadow Mushrooms story
Friends Philip Burdon and Roger Giles started a lifetime of mushroom farming in the late 1960's on the Mediterranean Island of Cyprus in caves near the village of Yerollakos (Girne). This lasted a little over 6 years until the bitterly fought partition of the island and the destruction of that business resulted in 100% of their attention being focused on Meadow Mushrooms which was already established in Prebbleton, just outside of Christchurch.
NZ owned est.1970
Meadow Mushrooms, a private company founded in NZ in 1970 is today the leading producer of mushrooms in NZ. Now 45 years on, Meadow Mushrooms remains a family business dedicated to putting great tasting mushrooms on Kiwis' plates throughout the year. Our mushrooms are picked fresh daily and carefully packed to arrive in the best condition for our customers to enjoy.
Meadow Mushrooms is totally committed to excellence in the production of mushrooms and is the only grower in New Zealand with full vertical integration from the production of spawn through to the dispatch to market and consumer promotion of this unique and much loved food.
