A family name since the 1930s
Our story

A family name,
carried forward.

Delmist was the name created by Trudy's mother for her dog kennels in the 1930s. For Trudy, and for her sons Zane and Alun, it is a name bound up with family history and generations of growing.

Today, Trudy and her sons, Zane and Alun, are giving the Delmist name a new life from the Dargaville property they bought together.

The property's buildings are around 100 years old, surrounded by established gardens, a heritage orchard and grape vines. Beautiful old-fashioned varieties grow alongside newer plantings as the garden and orchard continue to evolve.

Trudy's mother was an avid gardener, and the family comes from a long line of farmers and gardeners with proud ties to Northland. With the buildings now around a century old and the Delmist name dating to the 1930s, both carry nearly a century of history into what comes next.
