Council investigates alleged Barker's wastewater breach
Well known jam and preserve maker Barker's is being investigated over allegations of an unsanctioned wastewater spill.
The South Canterbury fruit and vegetable processor, famous for its jams, chutneys, spreads and preserves, was started on the Barker family's sheep farm just outside Geraldine, and is owned by French multinational Andros Group. The company, formally Barker Fruit Processors Ltd, employs about 10 percent of the town's 3000 people.
