CLAUDIA MADRID, KING AVOCADO CHIEF ORCHARDIST
We’re delighted to introduce our Chilean Chief Orchardist Claudia Madrid, proud guardian of our 200,000 avocado Hass trees, located at the northernmost tip of New Zealand, one of the most pristine and remote growing environments on the planet.
King avocados come from the northernmost tip of New Zealand, one of the most pristine and remote growing environments on the planet.
Our unique geology is surrounded by forest and idyllic beaches, bathed in sunlight and warm clean air from Ninety Mile Beach to our west and the Pacific Ocean to our east.
Our soils are rich in nutrients, and the pristine water and micro-climate lends itself to growing the highest quality Hass avocados.
A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Claudia has been growing avocados all her life. The trees are like her children. Her team are down to earth sorts, who take great pride in growing & preparing food as it should be. We’re lucky enough to have Claudia’s experience, vast knowledge and infectious passion, managing what is one of New Zealand’s largest avocado orchards.
Our soils are rich in nutrients, and the pristine water and micro-climate lends itself to consistently growing, harvesting and delivering the highest quality avocados.
Sustainability is at the forefront of our planning and orchard management. We have integrated pest management systems to minimise insecticide use, as well as being fully irrigated from a self-replenishing, natural water aquifer. The terroir of our land and our connection to it is expressed in the quality of our avocados. Avocados you can feel good about eating.
