The Goulter's WeedX story
The Goulter’s story started in 1997 and we’ve proudly been making the best vinegar products for your health and your home since then. Tim Goulter is a passionate wine and vinegar maker who founded Goulter’s.
More than two decades later we’re still a family owned and operated business based in sunny Nelson. With Tim’s expertise Goulter’s has continued to grow and in 2014 Tim’s nephew Charlie and his wife Trish joined Goulter’s. It is safe to say that vinegar runs in the families veins! We are dedicated to producing sustainable and affordable vinegar products.
Our expertise as vinegar making specialists is in our name – Goulter’s. We make a diverse range of vinegar products, the flagship one being our Certified Organic Apple Cider Vinegar which is produced using only organic New Zealand apples.
In 2020 Goulter’s teamed up with Egmont to sell their natural herbicide under the Egmont brand Beat A Weed.
In 2021 WeedX gains organic status!
