Here at Hirst Partnership we planted our first apple trees in 1989 on the rich soils of the Heretaunga Plains just south of Hastings City.
Sheltered by Te Mata Peak, which according to Maori legend, is in fact the body of a sleeping giant Te Mata, our fruit is grown in a wonderful environment enjoying a climate with long hot summers, mild sunny winters and abundant clean water.
We are passionate about producing quality fruit in an eco-friendly and sustainable manner.
We believe that it by putting our product, customers and employees first, we have built a family-orientated company that operates with integrity at all levels.
Throughout the apple season we harvest 10 different apple varieties on our orchard.
