Months for Our Mussels to Grow to Market Size
Mussel Farming
Sanford is the largest producer of Greenshell Mussels in New Zealand, with the majority of our integrated farming, harvesting and processing operations based in the pristine Marlborough Sounds, where the constant tidal flow provides ideal growing conditions.
King Salmon Farming
Our King Salmon are hatched in the snow-fed glaciers of New Zealand’s Southern Alps. They then grow to maturity in the cool, clean waters of Stewart Island, before being harvested and processed in Bluff for airfreight fresh, or deep-frozen for shipping.
