Bex Trotter, owner of Redbridge Berries near Wanaka and mum of four, left corporate life to plant 30,000 strawberries and start a hydroponic herb business. She talks about proving locals wrong, adapting to Central Otago’s climate, battling birds and pests, scaling planting and labour, seasonal timing shifts, and expanding the farm alongside family life.
