Our History No other property could be so unique as our Bio-gro orchard “Greenacres” named by our great Grandfather more than 100 years ago. This picturesque farm was converted to Organics in stages beginning 25 years ago and Bio-gro certified since 1995. Our Macadamias and Avocados are sheltered with native trees providing Honey from their flowers and animal fodder from their foliage. Our father, Felix, a keen plantsman, became the first experimental grower of Macadamias in New Zealand, by importing different varieties from around the world in 1975. A Macadamia orchard of 400 trees was established in 1978. Sixteen years later a further 800 trees were added. Sheep keep the grass short under and around the Macadamias allowing easier harvesting of the nuts. Our cool nights impart a unique flavour in our Macadamia Nuts. From these we create a delicious variety of products.
