“I try and start my day with some exercise, usually a quick run or a spin class if time allows. On weekends, I go for a long bike ride or hike with my friends.
For breakfast I love a Kiwi-and-Berry smoothie in the summertime or a delicious bowl of oats with Zespri™ Organic Kiwifruit in the wintertime."

To enjoy the optimum taste of your Kiwifruit, store them at room temperature. Place next to apples and bananas if you want them to ripen more quickly. If you want to keep them a bit longer, store them in the refrigerator.

Our growers spend 3 years preparing the rich New Zealand volcanic soil before planting Kiwifruit vines. Cultivating in high quality soil boosts water retention in our Kiwifruit vines, and in turn regenerates soil fertility and encourages the vibrancy of the biological activities in our orchards.
Our expert growers test soil nutrient levels every year. Carefully guided by our soil mineral bible, we take care not to put in too much soil enrichment. What is in our soil enrichment? Only certified organic compost and fertilisers, sourced from seaweed and fish.
Our organic growers understand that our Organic Kiwifruit grow better when their natural environment thrive. Which is why they provide sufficient sustenance for the entire orchard’s habitats. They proactively remove plants that attract the harmful insects and replace them with those that attract beneficial insects.
I come from a long line of Kiwifruit growers in Opotiki, New Zealand. Growing up, I learned how to work alongside nature to produce nature’s best: Zespri™ Organic Kiwifruit. The orchard was our playground when my brother and I were young. We played in the orchard while my parents were busy working, swinging on the orchard beams and playing in the nearby creek.
