Our Quality

Knowing how to produce the best fruit in the world doesn’t just happen, it takes years of experience, hard work, and attention to detail. That’s why our growers are involved in every step of the growing process. They grow their own rootstock; graft and plant them in their orchards; then pick the fruit to be packed and shipped around the world. Their involvement ensures consistently exceptional results for apple lovers all year round.

We’re Hands on From Orchard to Market

Our fully integrated system means the quality of the fruit, the packing and delivery are overseen by the same people who grew it. Our dedicated quality team ensures fruit consistency and compliance, so you can be confident the quality on the shelf is just as good as when it was packed.
