We've been growing and packing kiwifruit in the Waikato since 1975. That’s over five decades of managing our own orchards, and working for growers across the region, in one connected ecosystem.

What We
Do Best

Orchard Management

From bud to fruit, every crop gets the same attention we give our own. We know that and no two seasons are ever the same and bring five decades of hands-on experience to back every decision.

Packhouse

Every tray that leaves our packhouse goes through the same lines and the same checks. Hand grading has given way to automated lines over the years, but the care that goes into each tray hasn't changed.

Growing
for Ages

Our Story

In 1975, Mark Gardiner planted a handful of kiwifruit vines on a Karapiro block that had only ever run sheep. Fifty years on, and now with a team that loves the land just as much as we do, we're still growing our own fruit, managing orchards, and packing for growers across the Waikato.

Grounded
in Respect

Our Approach

We see ourselves as custodians of this land, not just occupants of it. Every call we make on how we manage a block and how we treat the people working it, gets weighed against the same question: will this leave things better for whoever's here next.
