There may be an issue with strawberries In the Horowhenua district from Otaki to Opiki, but on the eastern side of the Tararua Ranges, the Wee Red Barn at Opaki just north of Masterton have been harvesting and selling strawberries since the beginning of October. And they are delicious too....I have been indulging in them. The Wee Red Barn grow their berries (all varieties) beneath shade cloths and surrounded by windbreaks, so adverse weather seldom affects them. They only supply the local market though, directly from their Wee Red Barn shop at Opaki and from a number of stalls they set up in Masterton and Carterton, plus a small number of restaurants in Wairarapa and Wellington.
