The Morrifield Story
Gordon Morris and Fred Field
From humble beginnings, Morrifield has been producing quality tunnelhouses for the NZ and overseas market since 1980. Designed, built and based in Invercargill by an established family business. We have supplied schools, kindergartens, restaurants, nurseries, and maraes to list a few. Supporting communities and local sponsorship is important to us.
We have shipped throughout NZ from Stewart Island to Kaitaia and to destinations such as Fiji, Vanuatu, Chatman Islands, and Australia. Our design has remained largely the same with the addition of the Urban
Junior model. Our tunnelhouses have withstood wind, hail, and snow which is mainly due to its design so they have endured the test of time! Using only top quality materials, we proudly support being NZ made. Morrifield Tunnelhouses will extend your growing season and are suited to NZ’s changeable weather conditions.
We are extremely proud to be able to offer our product and feel that we have the strongest tunnelhouse available on the NZ market.
Like many Kiwi products, Morrifield Tunnelhouses originated as a DIY project and has evolved to become a trusted and familiar name to generations of gardening enthusiasts. Our first tunnelhouse was designed and built by Gordon Morris and Fred Field in 1980. Gordon’s wife Elizabeth wanted a growing tunnel suitable for her backyard as most of the available products, designed for large commercial growers were too big.
Over the years, the Morrifield brand has continued to evolve and we now have a range of models to suit all needs, budgets and lifestyles. Morrifield Greenhouses remains a family owned and operated family business. Gordon’s son Allister joined the company in 2004 and added the Urban Junior to the range. It was to cater for people living in townhouses with very little outdoor space. Allister has also helped the company’s offerings to service the dairy industry, gaining contracts for Herd Homes installing wintering sheds with Polythene roofs.
While Allister and wife Leanne have now taken over and a new era of gardeners has emerged. Greenhouse growing has been revitalized with young growers, families, lifestyle block owners and rural property owners all seeking to be more self sufficient and grow their own food. Morrifield still remains a leading greenhouse manufacturer in NZ and has continued to grow annually.
