Mary and Auto use sustainable, seasonal, spray free fruit and vegetables either grown themselves or sourced from excess produce found in the prolifically growing Waikato region. Each artisan jar of marmalade, chutney and pickles is homemade in small batches, utilising the water bath canning method to ensure the long shelf life and quality of the product.

The homemade preserves are created in the Waikato, ensuring the local flavours are enhanced and enjoyed. On the MAP pride themselves in staying local to create good food and pleasurable condiments that are “a little bit healthy”.

Whether for entertaining, gifting or for bringing a plate, On the MAP’s products will highlight any platter, cheeseboard or dish and make a fabulous hostess gift.

On the MAP also creates novel cocktail trimmings and garnishes to cater either for your special event, or for a relaxing end of the week treat. These dehydrated citrus wheels and cocktail dust creations also enhance a delightful mocktail for any age group. The limes, lemons and beautiful oranges used provide a delightful zing and are fabulous gifts for any occasion such as Christmas, a family gathering or treating yourself.

Mary and Auto are firmly established in Hamilton and enjoy growing the most possible out of their quarter acre section. Auto’s passion for gardening in combination with Mary’s love of bottling from her upbringing in the USA created the perfect matchup for On the MAP.
