Your Favourite Fries: Balle Farms & Mr Chips Foodservice Range

Balle Farms & Mr Chips Foodservice Range

When it comes to sourcing high-quality, locally grown potato products for the foodservice industry, few names carry the legacy and reliability of Balle Farms and Mr Chips. Proudly New Zealand-owned and operated, these brands offer a true field-to-fork solution — delivering premium frozen chips, wedges, and kumara products straight from their farms to your kitchen.

Locally Grown, Locally Owned

Balle Farms, part of the Balle Bros Group, has been farming in New Zealand since 1949. With growing operations in Pukekohe, Waikato, Hawke’s Bay, and Canterbury, they supply over 85% of the potatoes used by Mr Chips — ensuring full control over quality, sustainability, and traceability.

This commitment to local sourcing means every chip, wedge, and kumara product is made from 100% New Zealand-grown produce, supporting Kiwi farmers and reducing food miles.
