Our Squeezy Fruit Preserves are a first for jam in New Zealand. Available in four family-friendly flavours, they’re perfect for little hands keen to make their own breakfasts and lunches without mess.

To celebrate the launch, we painted the Foodstores Squeezy! Both Geraldine and Ponsonby were decked out with berry lanterns and cushions and Squeezy bottles everywhere you looked! The Squeezy takeover was a hit with guests and on social media.

Did you spot all the Squeezy bottles on the ceiling beams? In total Ford and the team decorated the Foodstore with 480 bottles! 

We also saw some fantastic colouring masterpieces at both venues. Here’s a few of our favourites:

Barker’s also partnered with Naomi Toilalo (known on Instagram as @whanaukai) to host a special workshop at the Barker’s Foodstore & Eatery in Ponsonby Central.

For this event, ‘Kai for the lunchbox’, our guests, including Mums and children, came along to make some delicious Squeezy treats.

Naomi shared how to make Jam Drop cookies, Peanut Butter and Jam Rolls, and Layered Parakuihi/Breakfast Jars, all using the new Squeezy Fruit Preserves.

Having a home-away-from-home in Ponsonby where we can host events is very special. We love being able to share a taste of South Canterbury in Auckland.

If you’re interested in hosting your own private function at the Ponsonby Foodstore & Eatery, please get in touch with us. We’d love to hear from you.
