Our Story
Here at Rata Farm we are striving to produce the best tasting product for our customers. We are doing this with the utmost of attention to the environment, sustainability and quality.
​
We are only using organic products on our crops which we believe not only helps the environment but assists with amazing flavours.
​
We are fully registered with NZ Gap
​
We want to educate our customers on the different varieties of chillis that we produce, as the flavours are so different between varieties.
