About Heartland
Want to hear a great Kiwi can do story?
Let me introduce you to Raymond Bowan who has been working the land of South Canterbury for decades. Alongside his wife Adrienne, they have been growing the finest potatoes on their own farm “Fallgate” since 1975.
Now here is where the story gets interesting. Back in 2009, Fallgate Farm was supplying the local chip factory in Timaru when, out of the blue, the overseas owners decided to shut the doors.
Most people would just accept the fate of the factory. But not Raymond who thought “why not just open it back up”? Once you know Raymond, you’ll realise he never shies away from a good challenge, and he’d just found a mammoth one!
Of course, some people didn’t have quite the same faith, telling him he’d never be able take on the big boys and win. Raymond with his signature cheeky grin would always tell them they’d just have to wait and see.
Raymond pursued his dream of reopening the factory and making New Zealand’s finest potato chips…….. and so it was, that Heartland Potato Chips came to be.
Fast forward to today and all the potatoes Heartland uses are still grown at Fallgate Farm by son James and delivered a few kilometres down the road to daughter Charlotte at the factory; often by Raymond himself.
Heartland has not only grown into one of NZ’s most loved brands, but also the only true blue 100% NZ owned and operated potato chip company in the land.
All because a great Kiwi farmer, from a great Kiwi farm, with a great Kiwi can do attitude, set to work making the Greatest Kiwi Potato Chips!
Heartland have been a Twin brand since 2012.
