New Zealand is one of McDonald’s top ten beef-producing markets and it’s such a hit with the rest of the world that a significant percentage of NZ’s beef exports are to international McDonald’s markets.
We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including Whangara Farms which was the first beef farm outside of Europe to be invited to the McDonald’s Flagship Farmers programme.
ANZCO Foods, based in the small Taranaki town of Waitara, are responsible for making our 100% beef patties. About 90% of the staff at the Waitara plant are locals and they manage to produce around half a million patties each day.
Our quality beef cuts are minced and that’s it. No additives or fillers, just mince that is formed in patties, before they’re flash-frozen and sent to restaurants.

To get the work done more efficiently, we need to take some trains off the track. Metlink will provide buses replacing trains whenever the lines are being worked on.
Wairarapa weekday off-peak train customers will notice some changes to their service from early June 2021. Peak services will continue as normal.
KiwiRail and Metlink are running drop-in sessions from 10 to 15 May to talk about the project work and how this will affect Metlink services.
For information on the drop-in sessions, visit here.

Hi Neighbours, hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather. We are pulling out excess flax plants; Phormium cookianum, a mountain flax.

Wonderful for … View moreHi Neighbours, hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather. We are pulling out excess flax plants; Phormium cookianum, a mountain flax. Softer form, more attractive habit with blue green foliage and suits drier conditions than P. tenax. Grows around 1.5m high to 2m in diameter. Wonderful for attracting tuis and bellbirds when in flower. Currently we have 70 plants available, trimmed and in bags at $2 per plant - many more coming over the next few months. Either buy now, or put in an order. Text message Anna on 021 55 2112. Address for pick up is 99 Hinau Gully Road, Carterton. Look for gargoyles on stone gateway. Cheers.
