A delicious, juicy orange, grown right here in our rich Gisborne soil.

The juicy orange, a crisp apple, tamarillo crumble, a fragrant dried lime sitting in a G&T…

You deserve the best nature has to bring, no matter how you choose to eat it.

More about that juicy orange…

In 2003 we bought a lifestyle property with a bare paddock on the outskirts of Gisborne.

Sitting on top of exceptionally fertile heavy silt loam (renowned for its growing power), we planted some orange trees to give it a go…and the fruit was (as you’d expect), nothing short of exceptional!

We decided to take these perfectly juicy oranges to market and found one major snag; the traditional routes of wholesale/packhouse/supermarket were less than ideal. We would have had no contact with you, our customer, and no way to know that our oranges would be arriving in your hands as delicious as they should be.

In typical Kiwi fashion we decided to do it ourselves, and hit the road selling our oranges on a grass verge in Hawke's Bay.

Our customers returned week after week, raving about how delicious and flavoursome our oranges were - and from there, the idea was born to make them available throughout New Zealand.

As we continue to grow from those humble oranges to all things fruit and produce, one thing will never change; our desire for quality, and to always deliver the best nature has to offer.

Coming from the ‘fruit bowl of NZ’ our mission is easily summarised in one simple word: QUALITY.
