Lewis Farms is a berry and asparagus farm north of Levin. Lewis Farms is situated between Manawatū and Wellington. It complements their existing practice of minimizing food waste by using every berry they grow, be it destined for a punnet, a jam jar or ice cream. However, Cam and Catherine Lewis’ business is still facing struggles around costs and labor shortages that have been industry-wide since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. While they’re hopeful a seasonal labor pipeline from Samoa will recover to pre-pandemic levels, they’re taking everything season by season.
