OUR STORY
A Family Legacy From New Zealand
Forsyth Island Mussels takes its name from the beautiful and remote Forsyth Island, located at the head of New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds, where our family grew up.
Shaped by the strong winds and rugged conditions of the Cook Strait, the island taught us resilience, hard work, and a deep connection to the sea. The challenging landscape eventually led us to move our farming operations from the land to the flattest "paddock" available - the ocean.
The Marlborough Sounds is one of the few places in New Zealand where endemic Greenshell™ mussels are commercially farmed. Sheltered bays, pristine waters, and nutrient-rich currents create the ideal environment for growing premium-quality mussels naturally.
​
Today, we proudly continue our family's farming tradition, cultivating Greenshell™ mussels in these exceptional waters using sustainable aquaculture practices that respect both the environment and future generations.
​
From sea to pouch, every Forsyth Island Mussel reflects our commitment to quality, provenance, and sharing the best of New Zealand with seafood lovers around the world.
​
From our family to yours.
Farm Raised as a Sustainable Resouce Product of New Zealand
Certified under New Zealand's A+ Sustainable Aquaculture Programme - independently recognised for responsible environmental management and continuous improvement.
SUSTAINABILITY
Responsibly Farmed For Future Generations
Our mussels are grown using environmentally responsible aquaculture practices that require no feed, no fertilisers, and no freshwater resources. Instead, mussels naturally filter nutrients from the surrounding ocean, making them one of the world's most sustainable sources of protein.
​
Through responsible farming and careful stewardship of New Zealand's coastal waters, we are committed to protecting the environment for future generations.
PROVENANCE
Grown In The Marlborough Sounds
New Zealand Greenshell™ mussels are found nowhere else in the world.
​
Forsyth Island Mussels are cultivated in the sheltered bays of the Marlborough Sounds, located at the top of New Zealand's South Island. Here nutrient-rich waters create the ideal environment for growing premium-quality mussels naturally.
​
Our farming methods have minimal environmental impact and support the long-term sustainability of New Zealand's marine ecosystems.
