PLEASE READ:
managing our business during covid-19

As many of you will know, the Palliser Ridge farm business is absolutely deemed essential due 
to providing our nation, and further afield with food.      
The diversification arm of our business however is not so essential, and you can be rest assured 
that we have no intention of taking up valuable courier space at this time, when people 
need medications, food and other essential items far more urgently.
You'll see we are in sale mode, and you're able to purchase now and 
we'll deliver as soon as the lockdown in New Zealand is lifted.
Take care of everyone in your bubble and we look forward to seeing you all on the other side.
