We manage orchards for Waikato growers the same way we manage our own. From bud to fruit, season after season, backed by five decades of growing.

Skin in the Game

Growing our own fruit for five decades has taught us a whole lot about orchards; through good seasons, hard ones, healthy blocks, pest years. It has all shaped how we manage a vine.

Our team knows no two orchards are the same. Soil, aspect, vine age, even what's growing next door all make a difference, so we don't manage to a formula. We manage to what's actually in front of us, because that's how we've always done it on our own ground.

By Growers, for Growers

We’ve been lucky enough to build relationships with growers across the Waikato, going back close to four decades. Managing orchards alongside these growers has broadened our knowledge well beyond just our own vines.

We offer orchard management because we understand growing first and foremost. Working other people's blocks pushes us to look at things differently. What starts as an orchard management arrangement rarely stays that way for long... it tends to grow into a deeper working relationship.

Our Approach

Sustainability isn't a separate consideration in how we work, it's built into it from the start. We see ourselves as custodians of this land and strive to leave it in better shape than we found it.

We're not a fully organic operation, but organic growing is a big part of what we manage, and it shapes how we think about orchard management more broadly. We're always adjusting how we grow, because looking after the land properly isn't something you ever really finish.
