New Zealand is known for growing lots of things but cranberries aren't one of them.
Imagine then, being the owners and operators of the country's only commercial cranberry farm.
Artist Kate Buckley & farmer Kevin MacGregor bought the property after meeting in Ireland and settling in Westland.
Together they grow, sort and process the berries ensuring a year round local supply of what has been described as a 'superfood'.
They explain to Kathryn how a native North American berry came to be thriving on New Zealand's west coast.
