A New Zealand Heritage
The Golden Grove™ — a 23-year spray-free family orchard at Aongatete Ridge, New Zealand.
From Family Orchards to Plate.
Our Story · Aongatete, New Zealand
For twenty-three years, our mixed orchard in Aongatete has been a place of love. Every tree, every bush, every vine was planted by hand and tended through the seasons — grown patiently, naturally, and completely spray-free.
From this single piece of New Zealand soil comes an abundance: citrus and stone fruit, avocados and feijoas, figs, blueberries and wild kiwifruit, garden herbs and passionfruit vines. Nothing travels far. Everything carries the story of where it was grown.
From Local to Local · Proudly New Zealand Made
What Grows Here — A Living Harvest
Twenty-three years of careful planting, gathered from one spray-free orchard across the turning seasons. The Golden Grove™ grows fruit, herbs, leaves and botanicals for our fresh produce, juices, teas, dried fruits, oils, vinegars and pantry goods.
