What we Grow
Our Apples & Kiwifruit
Fairfield’s Apple & Kiwifruit orchards are strategically positioned in the fertile plains of Motueka, nestled between the valleys of Riwaka, and the limestone marble of Takaka Hill. Situated in Tasman Bay, our region is renowned for its beautiful beaches and enjoys an impressive amount of sunshine hours, making it one of New Zealand’s sunniest areas. These favorable conditions, along with temperate cool winters and ample rainfall, create an ideal environment for cultivating apples & kiwifruit that are bursting with flavor and ripened to perfection.
