Our story

A valley family farm raising pastured stock, milling grain, orchard fruit and vegetables for shipment abroad since 1962.

How we began

Twelve milking cows and one fixed idea started it: crops and stock raised patiently on living soil eat better and travel better.

The third generation now looks after 10,000 hectares of grazing, wheat, orchards and vegetable ground — plus our own sorting sheds, cool rooms and shipping office.

We still walk the rows each morning. Machines take care of the forms; people take care of the food.

What we promise

Three checks stand behind each carton, sack and container that rolls out of our gate.

01

Sorted where it grows

Nothing ships unsorted. Fruit is sized, grain is cleaned and each batch is sampled ahead of packing — so the order and the arrival match.

02

Traced to its block

Every load notes its block, picking date and grade. Ask where a box grew and we can walk you to those exact rows.

03

Documents travel first

Health papers, packing lists and temperature logs go ahead of the container — your broker holds them before the vessel berths.

Ordering in four steps

From first message to boxes at your dock.

Message

Share the crop, quantity and timing you need. We answer within one working day.

Tasting

Sorted samples go out with lab sheets so your team can try and test before deciding.

Agreement

Set price, set timetable, complete shipping papers. Nothing unexpected at the quay.

Arrival

Chilled or dry box, followed gate to gate, with a quality contact open on landing.

Common questions

Yes. The web shop covers single boxes and sacks, and full containers run through the shipping office — same sorting, same fields, either route.

We send to twenty-plus countries across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Name your port — if it is new to us, we will work out the routing.

Orchards and vegetable blocks carry organic certification. Wheat and stock run under audited low-residue programs, with lab sheets for every batch.

Yes, in picking season. Message us through the contact page and we will set up the blocks, sheds and a shared midday table.
