An ideal climate, lush pastures and innovative farming produces enough beef for Macca’s in New Zealand and around the world.
Our patties are 100% quality beef, and all that’s added is a dash of salt and pepper when cooked. We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including those at the world-class Whangara Farms.

Fa’afetai mo le agalelei fa’atua’oi literally translates to "thank you for your neighbourly kindness". We think that's a pretty special way to show your appreciation for a neighbour. Happy Samoan Language Week!

Snoop has been missing for 8 weeks.
It has been hard 😥
He is a 4 year old, male foxy cross, small, black and tan dog.
Thanks to friends we have printed off some big posters and will put them up around the north.
He could be anywhere but sightings have been Mangamuka/Kohukohu/Panguru way. We are also looking Kaitaia and surrounding areas, and Whangarei.
Please keep looking for our boy. If you see him walking the highway stop. It means he has escaped and is trying to find his way home.
We love him. We want him back.
A reward is offered for his return, no questions asked.
Come home Snoopy-do.

There are expected squally thunderstorms alongside heavy rain and hail, as well as a possible small tornado. There is some risk that the thunderstorm will become severe with localised downpours of 25 to 35 mm/h, 110 km/h wind gusts, and the chance of a localised damaging tornado.
Low-lying areas such as streams, rivers or narrow valleys with this intensity of rainfall may cause flash flooding and/or slips. This will make the driving conditions hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility due to the rain. Wind gusts of this strength, and damaging tornadoes can cause structural damage, including trees and power lines.
The weather watch is in place until 6pm tonight but any changes will be reported on the MetService website.
The ArtCraft Annual Exhibition this weekend 3rd June - 6th June 9.30am - 4pm St Johns Station Hall 357 Kerikeri Road . Feast you eyes on local creative works , all welcome ... Free entry .
