Meadow Fresh NZ Ltd formed as the result of a brand swap in September 2005 between New Zealand Dairy Foods Ltd and New Zealand Milk (a now defunct Fonterra subsidiary).
The two companies that emerged from the swap were:
- Fonterra Brands New Zealand Limited (formerly known as New Zealand Milk), wholly owned by Fonterra.
- Mainland Products Limited (MPL), (which became Meadow Fresh NZ Ltd., from 31 October 2005) owned by Graeme Hart.
Meadow Fresh was subsequently sold to Goodman Fielder in connection with the IPO of that company.
On 3 July 2006, Meadow Fresh NZ Ltd, Top Hat Convenience Foods Ltd, and Goodman Fielder New Zealand Ltd amalgamated to become Goodman Fielder New Zealand Ltd.

Famous quotes containing the words meadow and/or fresh:
“The idiot greens the meadow with his eyes,
The meadow creeps implacable and still;
A dog barks, the hammock swings, he lies.
One two three the cows bulge on the hill.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Band of iris-flowers
above the waves,
you are painted blue,
painted like a fresh prow
stained among the salt weeds.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
