KIA ORA, WELCOME
Kia ora and welcome to Aotearoa Grown
We love tropical fruit, with better, brighter and fresher flavours. We wanted to bring this here, to Aotearoa,
and to you.
We planted our first bananas in Waipu in 2012, and have grown more diversity in our orchards with each year. Now, working with our growing grower community, there’s enough to share more widely, and we’re excited to bring Aotearoa Grown bananas, pineapples, papayas and other delights direct to your door.
Here at Aotearoa Grown we grow with nature, and with aroha, to bring you the best, the tastiest, and the freshest fruit. We love what we do – we grow and harvest by hand, with love for our place, and for nature. Our fruits are brighter, livelier and have a character and quirks all of their own. Harvested in season, our fruits are sun ripened, hand picked and mostly spray free. Everything has the best locally grown taste, freshness and quality, which can only come from being grown here, in Aotearoa.
We grow in sustainable ways which feed the soil and look after our earth. We care for our place, nurturing what we have, reducing our footprint. We pick and pack with care, and send directly to you – from our orchards, to your homes and families.
Aotearoa Grown well and good.

GROWN
FOR GOOD
OUR FRUIT
Grown with aroha and grown with nature, our tropical fruit is all grown locally, in Aotearoa.
Our ladyfinger bananas are sweet, creamy and delicious, grown in the rich soils of Whangārei, Our Queen pineapples are juicy and tender, grown in the sun at Parua Bay. Our papaya are sweet, juicy and delicious, grown by the sea in Waipu. Our creamy and buttery avocado come from the volcanic soils of Maungatapere.
Soon, we will be bringing you more banana varieties - Goldfinger, Mona Lisa and others - with citrus and pineapple flavours. And red bananas too - that taste of bananas with hints of raspberries! And there's more tropical delights to come - inga beans, cherimoya, casimaroa, chocolate sapote too.
