It’s not every day you see your journey shared on a show as iconic as Country Calendar. For the ViBERi team, our recent debut on this much loved New Zealand TV programme was a proud and memorable moment.

For decades, Country Calendar has told the stories of New Zealand’s farmers, growers, and rural innovators. Being featured places ViBERi alongside a long line of businesses dedicated to quality, sustainability, and connection to the land. It is something we do not take lightly.

ViBERi’s story begins with a simple idea. New Zealand produces world class berries, and we wanted to make that goodness accessible all year round. From our orchard to our products, everything we do is centred on protecting the natural benefits of our berries.

The Country Calendar episode gave viewers a behind the scenes look at how ViBERi berries are grown, harvested, and processed. It captured the seasonal nature of blackcurrant farming in New Zealand, along with the care and attention that goes into every stage of production. From early starts in the fields to the final product, the process reflects our commitment to quality.

One of the most powerful parts of the feature was the connection it showed. Connection to the land, to the people behind the product, and to the wider community. At ViBERi, we believe that great food starts with strong relationships and a deep respect for where it comes from.

For those discovering ViBERi through Country Calendar, this was an introduction to our mission. We create premium New Zealand blackcurrant products that deliver both flavour and nutritional benefits. Our focus on blackcurrants is driven by their natural antioxidant properties and the role they can play in everyday wellbeing. 

Since the episode aired, we have received an incredible response from viewers across New Zealand. It has been inspiring to see so many people interested in our produce and the story behind it. Support like this reinforces why we do what we do.

Being featured on Country Calendar is an exciting milestone for ViBERi, but it is only part of our journey. We are continuing to invest in sustainable blackcurrant farming, innovate within our product range, and share the benefits of New Zealand berries with a wider audience.

If you missed the episode, we highly recommend watching it to see the full ViBERi story. It offers a genuine look at organic farming in New Zealand and the passion behind our products. You can find more information on our episode page.
