Picked, cooled, packed

Built around fruit quality, not shelf decoration.

Our cartons are packed from real orchard runs: fruit is picked into field bins, cooled after arrival at the packhouse, then graded for size, colour, pressure and skin finish before dispatch.

For wholesale buyers, we quote by variety, count size, grade and carton configuration so the shipment matches the market it is going to.

Harvest traceabilityEach carton is linked to a block, harvest date and pack run.
Careful handlingFruit moves through padded lines and is packed by trained staff.
Food safety checksPackhouse procedures follow New Zealand export expectations.
Seasonal honestyIf a variety is not eating well, we do not list it that week.
