ALL THAT LAMB

New Zealand is the world’s largest exporter of lambs with 27 million sheeps and the 5th largest beef exporter, with 4 million dairy cows.. It’s no wonder that lamb and beef are used extensively in Addiction’s product range (dry, air-dried, and treats). 

NO SSSSSNAKES HERE

Did you know that New Zealand has no snakes? There never was a snake population. The government protects its environment by not allowing snakes get into the country.

GOT MILK!

New Zealand is the world’s 8th largest milk producer, thanks to its 9.7 Million* dairy cows that produce over 15 billion liters of milk annually.

FIELD OF DREAMS

New Zealand’s nickname as Middle Earth, due to is appearance in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, isn’t too far off. In fact, much of its fertile farmlands—the Canterbury Plains in the South Island and a host of smaller fields in the North—were actually formed due to alluvial deposits eroded from the country’s many mountain ranges.


Such wide-open pastures and rolling hills aren’t necessarily home to hobbits, but rather a host to sheep, cows, and chickens that are raised cage-free. And since river-drained soils and a mild climate, paired with plenty of sunshine, help grass grow year-round, the flock can graze through winter, spring, summer and fall, helping to form a more tender, flavorful meat.


Plus, since much of New Zealand’s terrains are looked after by farmers who refrain from using pesticides and harmful hormones, the fields remain even greener—and the produce raised are especially strong and full of nutrients.
