If you are looking for blackcurrants, then look no further…

Where can we get blackcurrants? – New World Supermarkets, Moutere Gold, Upper Moutere. You can even pick free at 2077 Moutere Highway last few days of picking this week (until 25th/26th Jan) And of course, frozen blackcurrants will be available at the Sarau Festival on 3rd February – remember to bring your chilly bin!
