Mushroom substrate supply, delivery and spreading
Carrfields Contracting is part of the Carrfields group of companies. Carrfields Contracting (previously Winslow Contracting) was the original Carr Group business which Greg and Glenys Carr started in the 1970s as a supplement to their farming business. Starting with one tractor and baler Greg took on a baling run servicing farms in the Mid Canterbury foothills with hay and straw baling provisions. As farming became more intensive in Mid Canterbury in the years that followed, the need for farm contracting services grew and Carr Contracting expanded rapidly to deliver baling and transport services all over the Mid Canterbury region.
Today we continue to offer our clients a high quality contracting service and we pride ourselves on delivering prompt and efficient services to all our clients.

Carrfields Contracting is the founding business of the Carrfields Group which started back in the late 1970s. Through the years our contracting business has gained a reputation of being a highly professional business offering services in baling and supply of wheat straw, hemp fibre harvesting and supply of mushroom substrate throughout the Canterbury region.
We own and operate some of the best machinery brands on the market with good policies in place to ensure our equipment is kept updated, serviced and maintained to ensure customer satisfaction is met constantly. Being a long-established and experienced contractor we understand the true importance of timing, quality, and workmanship must be at the top of our priority list to guarantee our customers get the best value from the end product we produce. We also trade a large volume of straw in the Mid Canterbury district.
A new unique service we now offer our customer base within the Canterbury region is the exclusive supply of mushroom substrate which comes from Christchurch based business, Meadow Mushrooms. The product called mushroom substrate is loaded out of the growing rooms onto our fleet of trucks and delivered to farmers, market garden supply centres and urban customers on a weekly basis. As a major supplier of wheat straw to Meadow Mushrooms, the initiative was set up to help ensure supply of wheat straw from our arable growers who we buy the straw from and return mushroom substrate back to their paddocks which ensure mutual benefit.
