Read on to learn about Zespri Kiwifruit and get inspired with delicious recipes!

Zespri Kiwifruit is 100% grower owned. And we only do kiwis. Translation: we’re a little obsessed with growing the best. We grow our kiwis for taste, not just yield so each little guy packs a sweet, juicy punch.
Growing for you: Growers like Rex and Helen have a keen sense of purpose in their work: to provide nutritious food for people. Through passionate and responsible care for the land, they work to provide nutritious Kiwifruit for their community and beyond.
Growing to protect: Our growers know they hold a big responsibility to the land they own. With an emphasis on reducing the use of plastics and championing sustainable growing practices on their orchards, Craig and Lani know that as guardians of their land, they have a role to play in keeping the ground healthy and protected.
Growing our future: It would be a loss for these hard-learned values to dissipate and that is why growers have their eye on the next generation – those who would inherit the earth. Craig, a second generation grower, hopes his two children would follow in his footsteps.
