Barker's of Geraldine Fruit Preserve

Barker’s of Geraldine is a celebrated New Zealand brand renowned for its high-quality fruit-based products, including preserves, syrups, and condiments. Founded in 1969 by Anthony and Gillian Barker on their family farm in Geraldine, South Canterbury, the company began with the production of elderberry wine and transitioned into a wide array of gourmet food products. The brand is deeply rooted in its local heritage, maintaining its primary production facility in the same Geraldine location where it started.

In terms of ownership, Barker's became part of the French family-owned multinational Andros Group in 2015. Despite this international acquisition, the brand continues to operate with a strong emphasis on its New Zealand identity and manufacturing roots. The products are crafted using traditional methods and high-quality ingredients, often sourced from local New Zealand growers. This blend of local artisan heritage and global corporate backing has allowed Barker's to expand its reach significantly across Australasia and international markets while maintaining its reputation for quality and natural flavor profiles.
