GROWN BY NATURE'S RULES

 

Growing Zespri Organic kiwifruit starts with the nourishing organic New Zealand soil. 

Our Zespri Organic kiwifruit growers are led by Nature.  Nature is their boss and sets the rules.   Their role as organic growers is to work alongside Nature, nurturing the land and finding ways to adapt to the conditions as they grow nutritious, tasty organic kiwifruit.

GROWER'S QUOTE 

"An orchard that coexists with nature”

WORKING HARMONIOUSLY WITH NATURE

 

Growers encourage beneficial plants, birds and insects. The native plants planted around the perimeter of the orchard play an important role in attracting the native birds and bees and detracting unwanted insects from the orchard.

SLOW, HANDS ON GROWING IN ALIVE SOIL 

 

Nourishing soil that is abundant in life, including aerating and nutrient‑boosting earthworms, is the foundation of a thriving organic orchard.  Our organic growers test the soil every year to see if it is in need of a nutrient boost and when needed only organic certified inputs like ground mussel shells or seaweed are added to enrich the soil.

THRIVING IN AN ABUNDANT ECOSYSTEM WITH MINIMAL INPUTS

 

Over the years our growers have noticed that with minimal intervention and inputs, the organic kiwifruit vines have grown into strong, resiliant plants which can sustain themselves and have withstood severe weather events whilst creating nutritious and tasty organic kiwifruit for you to enjoy.
