BAKERY PROFILE: The Fairlie Bakehouse Franz Lieber - Chef and Owner site fresh every day and pride ourselves in sourcing local produce wherever possible. We are passionate about creating interesting pie flavours as well as including the classics”. Talking to Franz about his passion for wonderful pies was a pleasure and made my mouth water! You wouldn't think a small town in the middle of nowhere makes the best pies in New Zealand, but it does! Franz arrived from Austria in 1979 with his wife Christine and aren’t we lucky he did. A long time chef, Franz has worked for The Hyatt Hotel Group, then The Chateau on the Park in Christchurch and then owned Arrowtown's bakery in the 1990's to name a few. Franz moved to his own bakery in Fairlie five years ago. “At Fairlie Bakehouse we believe fresh is best! We make everything on Barker’s products fall into two categories for Franz - firstly the quality and taste is exceptional and consistent, with the bonus being they are local. “We have used Barker’s for a number of years and most notably in my Pork Belly Pie where we use the Apple Sauce. The Raspberry Preserve and the chutneys are a favourite too.” Franz doesn’t just stock his bakery which doubles as a café - "We sold 1,000 pies on Waitangi day!" - as the Lieber Factory supplies local businesses as well as select clients in Auckland and Wellington. It has been easy to see why The Fairlie Bakehouse has been named one of the Canterbury and Upper South Island's fastest-growing businesses. The bakery, whose 13 full-time and seven part-time workers produce eight varieties of pies, was named the region's fastest-growing business in the retail and consumer products category at the Deloitte Fast 50 regional awards, as well as winning the People Choice Award in South Canterbury for 2 consecutive years, and the Hospitality Industry Award. "It's quite known now, so people are stopping in at Fairlie." Franz told me Lieber means ‘love’ in German, well we love his pies!

Welcome to our Autumn newsletter. As I sit here waiting for my son, Tomas’s mini van to collect him for school I am totally inspired by the beautiful colours of the trees and their leaves. It is indeed a beautiful time of year but that nip in the air has certainly crept up on us and winter is fast approaching. So what better time of the year than now to launch our new and exciting range of ‘Hot & Spicy' Sauces. A team of technologists have worked tirelessly behind the scenes along with our consultant chef, Paul Jobin, to weave their magic so we could bring an inspiring and great tasting range of new sauces to the market. At the same time we have reinvigorated our ‘Traditional’ favourites and they too will delight your customers' taste buds. If you haven’t tasted some of our new sauces please do call our customer services desk and ask for some samples and then view our new website: www.barkersprofessional.nz for inspiring ideas and recipes. As many of you are aware we are refreshing our logo and labels and in doing so are bringing a more ‘professional’, clean and modern feel to our presentation. We are indeed Barker Fruit Processors Ltd PO Box 100, Geraldine 7956, South Canterbury, New Zealand. 72 Shaw Road, Geraldine 7991, South Canterbury, New Zealand. Website: www.barkersprofessional.nz excited about our new look and in particular very proud of our new Barker’s Professional logo as it beautifully illustrates the level of professionalism and value we offer the market and our customers. During the refresh we have also taken notice of the discussion surrounding sugar and salt, and we thought it timely to set guidelines around product development for levels of salt and sugar in our chutneys and savoury sauces. So we have tweaked where we have needed to for some of our products. Now our entire chutney and sauce ranges have been designed with the following criteria for sugar and salt. Sodium Targets: FSANZ – 474mg/100g Heart Fdtn – 450mg/100g OUR AIM: Sodium < 450mg/100g (salt <1150mg/100g) Sugar < 35g/100g The health and wellness food trend continues to grow as does the popularity of Greek yoghurt. As a result we thought it timely to launch our new "Fruit for Yoghurt" range and what a lovely range to have as part of your breakfast offering. Combining fruit with seeds provides the perfect partner for plain yoghurt and together they deliver the ultimate experience for your customer. We never grow tired of bringing new products to the market to excite our customers so keep a look out in September as we have wonderful new smoothies, dessert sauces and Anathoth Farm marmalades coming to the market. Enjoy all these great products while keeping happy and healthy during winter. Regards Nicky We welcome any feedback on this action. Do keep in mind though that our underlying aspiration for any product we release to market must be ‘best tasting’ in category so we have NO intentions of compromising on taste or flavour. nicky.donkers@barkers.co.nz
