Barkers of Geraldine

       What a great brand, again from the beautiful NZ.

After 45 years, Barker’s of Geraldine is still on a corner of the family farm, 8km from the South Canterbury town of Geraldine. The farm sits in the lea of the Four Peaks mountain range, beside the Te Moana River and surrounded by rolling pastures.

The farm is now a thriving business, making world class jams, chutneys, syrups and condiments. Barker’s supports the local community employing around 150 local people, and always buys local produce whenever possible.

I love the fact that this brand has been created in the family and stayed that way. SO much love and care goes into these products when being produced through a family. 

Its so special receiving products for brands like this, it might sound silly but I feel honoured to be able to promote them.

I was sent out from Barkers of Geraldine a lite squeezed Blackcurrants syrup, and to be honest usually I wouldn't buy a fruit syrup. But this was a great opportunity to try something I had never tried before! 

With the same great taste and half the sugar, there is even more reason for you and your family to enjoy Barkers Blackcurrant. The natural sweetness of the stevia plant replaces half the sugar in our lite Blackcurrant, with no artificial sweeteners and no compromise on flavour. Vitamin C in lite Blackcurrants contributes to healthy immune system , recution of tiredness and fatigue and cell protection from free radical damage. * When diluted as directed and consumed as part of a healthy diet. 

So many benefits I would never have thought that a simple Blackcurrant juice would have. The flavour is quite different than I had imagined. Its quite strong and full of flavour, you can just tell its real fruit. Its a juice that I would have a glass with a nice heathy lunch!

I am so very pleased to have had this opportunity to review Barkers Blackcurrant juice, and this will not be the last time you'll see Barkers reviews. I am so keen to try other products in their range, I will be keeping an eye out of what products they have stocked at Coles.
