My husband and I grow navel oranges, kiwifruit, limes and kaffir lime leaves. All of the other produce we supply is sourced from top-quality growers in the Gisborne area.
All of our produce (except garlic, which is stored and dried post-harvest) is picked 1-2 days before dispatch.
Some of our products are sprayed and some are classified as spray-free. We only spray fruit when absolutely necessary. All our growers are GAP certified which means that none of our produce is sprayed close to harvest.
Sprays are applied to oranges, mandarins, lemons, limes, grapefruit, tamarillos, some avocados, kiwifruit and passionfruit. Sprays are not applied to some avocados, feijoas, persimmons and garlic.
No, we simply pack your produce into a box by hand. Tree to table.
We have three dispatch days a week: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Orders must be received by 10 am Wednesday for guaranteed dispatch for that week unless we seel out of fresh produce before this time. We don’t dispatch on Thursday or Friday due to the risk of your order being left in a courier depot over the weekend.
At checkout you have the option to select your preferred dispatch date. This can be helpful if you are going away or sending a gift. We will do our very best to dispatch your order on this date, however sometimes due to volume of orders or fruit supply, this is not possible. You will receive a tracking email when your fruit has been dispatched.
