Apatu Farms
HAWKE’S BAY, AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND
“We’re passionate about surrounding ourselves with the best people and the right tools to grow and supply world-class produce.”
MARK APATU
Since 1966, the Apatu family has been committed to growing premium, quality produce on fertile land nestled across the Heretaunga Plains, next to the Ngaruroro River in the Hawke’s Bay of New Zealand.
In 2018, after years of growing a variety of produce, the Apatu Family planted their first apple crop with a focus on harnessing the very best intellectual property (IP) varieties and utilising innovative growing systems.
They have since grown to become the largest independent grower of ENVY™ in the region.
Like us, Apatu Farms share a passion for the world’s best growing practices and utilising smart technology which enables them to grow the finest quality produce.

Allan Brothers
Naches, Washington, USA
“JAZZ™ is an extraordinary apple, with an exceptional taste and a sensational crunch.”
Travis Allan
The Allan Brothers were among the first to plant our premium apple, JAZZ™, in the soil of Washington, USA in the early 2000s. Today, they grow JAZZ™ on 140 acres spanning Washington’s Yakima Valley and Columbia Basin.
Travis Allan began managing the family orchards upon returning from college, continuing the lineage of growing expertise as a fourth-generation grower-owner.
The area’s rich soil, abundance of irrigated water, warm weather during the season and cool nights makes for the best spot to produce our sensational JAZZ™ apples.
