Our produce
Fruit and vegetables not only taste great, they’re an important part of a healthy diet, providing essential vitamins, minerals and fibre. And as a grower and food exporter, we’re commited to producing safe, sustainable nutrition, and helping build thriving communities. Yet we know not everyone can access or afford nutritious food. That’s why we partner with others who share our vision to help address food insecurity and grow healthier futures together.
Responsible partnerships
Our partners are vitally important. That’s why we want to build strong, long-lasting, mutually beneficial partnerships. For us, this means we want our growers, customers and suppliers to share our commitment to having a positive social, environmental and economic impact on people, society and our planet. So, together, we can create change.
Healthy communities
Helping out hungry Kiwis
With many New Zealanders finding it difficult to provide healthy and nutritious food to their families, we donate surplus fresh fruit and vegetables from across our business to the New Zealand Food Network.
The New Zealand Food Network is a not-for-profit organisation, which collects and distributes quality surplus and donated food to food rescue organisations, iwi and charities across Aotearoa New Zealand. Over the last few years, together with some of our independent growers, we’ve donated over three million kilograms of fresh produce to the New Zealand Food Network.
Teaching kids to grow and enjoy fresh food
We’re big supporters of New Zealand’s Garden to Table programme, teaching children the essential skills to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh seasonal food. It’s incredible to see these children get out of the classroom, get their hands in the soil, and then cook their delicious school-grown produce!
Growing through fresh fruit and vegetables
We’re proud to partner with 5+ A Day Charitable Trust to provide Kiwi kids with fresh fruit through Te Whatu Ora’s (the Ministry of Health) Fruit & Vegetables in Schools programme.
Every school day, our T&G whānau provide over 285 low-decile schools—that’s over 64,000 kids—in Northland, Auckland, Hamilton, Gisborne, Hastings and Canterbury with delicious fresh fruit and vegetables.
