About the host
Hosted by Di Charlton

Matthew and Di are a couple in our early 70s who have owned The Berry Farm for over 40 years. We grow boysenberries, raspberries, cherries, blueberries and have a huge vegetable garden, assorted fruit trees and farm animals. We love the rural, peaceful setting yet we are only five minutes from Hastings and Havelock North.
