Strawberry Plants now available!

We’re selling commercial quality Albion plug plants for your backyard! Unlike small cell grown plants or runners, these have a well developed root system, meaning less transplant shock, faster establishment, stronger growth, and earlier fruit.

Our strawberry patch is planted with these, straight into paddock soil with irrigation, no compost, no fertiliser, no fancy tricks, and you all saw how well they produced! 🍓

We trust you’ll still visit us for the animals and a real fruit ice cream, even when your own patch is overflowing with berries!

Collection 5th and 6th September at Tree Range Farms or Shipping available throughout Central Otago and Southland. Order yours here:

We’ve just updated our September Pullet availability on the website. If you’ve been waiting to add some lovely young layers to your flock, now’s the perfect time to secure some before they’re gone.

September is a great time to purchase Pullets too as they are coming onto lay as the days get longer - which means the eggs come sooner!

For those who own Chooks: A Winter Care Reminder 🍂

As your hens come into moult, slow down laying and the temperatures drop it’s the perfect time to:
• Worm your flock (without wasting eggs in egg withhold periods)
• Treat for red mites & lice
• Do a full coop clean-out/treatment
• Set some pest and predator traps

Losing feathers and looking scraggly is completely normal this time of year. Your hens are moulting and putting their energy into growing fresh winter feathers, so laying may slow or stop for a while.

With the cooler weather settling in it’s a great time to get on top of worming, mite and lice treatments. Its also an important time of year to set some mice, rat and ferret traps, all these pests are out looking for food as there is less available this time of year!

Our Emu have kicked off laying season! There’s nothing quite like hunting for these beautiful dinosaur like eggs. Each one weighing a whopping 600–700 grams.

The photos of the chicks below are from last season, laying has only just begun for this year. If all goes to plan and the eggs are fertile, incubation takes around 52 days before we will hopefully welcome another batch of fluffy little Emus to the farm.

Time to dust off the incubator… here we go again!

Brown Shaver Hens, Chicks and Spring Pullets now available!

•HENS, Our last handful of laying hens are available now. These girls are $20 each and can be picked up from Alexandra or delivered to Cromwell and Wānaka this Saturday morning.

They’ve been laying for around a year, a few are just finishing a moult, so they’re looking a little scruffy at the moment, but they’ll feather back up beautifully and continue to be reliable layers.

•CHICKS, We have day-old brown shaver chicks available now! If you’ve been thinking about raising your own hens, this is a fantastic time of year to do it. They’ll come into lay in spring as the days get longer, and we always find this timing grows our best pullets.

Please note that chicks will need a heat source to raise them, either a heat lamp or heat plate, along with chick starter food.

•PULLETS, Our spring pullets are now bookable through our website. These spring batches book out months in advance every year, so if you know you want some, we definitely recommend jumping online and reserving yours early. 🥚

Just a reminder that we are now CLOSED for the season. Our roadside shop is still open and accessible without entering closed gates.

Please do not open gates and enter the property. While we love sharing the farm with the community during our open season, this is a working farm and there can be significant hazards present outside of operating periods that are not there during public opening times.

Recently, we have had people opening gates and entering the carpark and paddocks to see the animals. This is private property and it is currently the breeding season for our Emu, Ducks, Geese, and Black swans. At this time of year we need to minimise disturbance to give them the best chance of successful breeding, they can also become territorial and unpredictable during these times, making it unsafe for people to be in these areas.

The black swans here are protected wetland birds, and we work hard to provide a safe environment for them on the property. Disturbing nests or breeding pairs can undo months of work and may result in failed nesting attempts. We look forward to welcoming you back after winter.

What a fantastic way to wrap up our first strawberry and farm open season, with outdoor movie night!

Thank you to everyone who has visited us between December and now or purchased our produce. We’re truly thrilled and so grateful for your support. We’ll be sharing plenty from behind the scenes over winter, including all the lambs, chicks, spring pullets, and baby emus. As well as events in ECHO our coffee and ice cream trailer.

It’s been a great time to look back on how far we’ve come. From starting Tree Range in 2022 with a 3-month-old baby and a whole lot of big dreams, to now, three years on, a second baby, a new property, countless hours of hard work and watching all of those dreams come to life… we’re so proud of what we’ve built so far.

Feeling incredibly grateful for everyone who follows and supports us, and for the absolute legendary friends (and Cam!) who show up when things are tough, plant strawberries in gale force winds (what a time!), and are always offering to lend a hand. You know who you are, and we appreciate you more than words can say ❤️

Thank you again everyone, we can’t wait to do it all again after winter!
