Young Christopher Dawson in New Zealand
Christopher Dawson

"In 1972, as a young law student in New Zealand, I began to question the changing face of agriculture with its endless deforestation, monoculture and the mass production of cheaper quality food, presenting potential dangers for future generations.

This was the beginning of a journey that has already spanned five decades, bringing us in 1993 to the Clearspring of today, and our uniquely diverse range of organic and sustainably-produced Japanese and European fine foods that are enjoyed throughout the world. This range keeps constantly expanding with market trends. I am lucky to have my own children’s’ involvement in building the Clearspring for the future, constantly turning one more acre of land back to organic cultivation on their journeys."
