Waikato · BioGro certified organic
Kiwiberries grown without a single synthetic spray.
Bellberry Estate is a small certified organic orchard. Most of what we pick goes to export — the rest we keep for the Hamilton Farmers Market and for anyone in New Zealand who wants a box sent to their door.
20 Feb – 10 AprKiwiberries run late February to early April. About 157 days away.
Between seasons
No fresh fruit today.
That’s the honest answer, and it’s the reason this page doesn’t have a permanent “buy now” button. Fruit has a fortnight or two where it’s worth eating, and we won’t sell you cold-stored kiwiberries in July to keep a shop looking busy.
Leave your email and we’ll write to you once — the week the picking starts.
All year round
Straight from the freeze drier
Picked at the peak of the season and freeze dried here, so it keeps for months without a fridge — and posts any day of the week.
Freeze dried black raspberries
Deep and almost winey. The shortest season we grow.
Freeze dried feijoa
That unmistakable feijoa perfume, dried to a crisp.

Three ways
How to get your fruit
Courier delivery
Picked and packed the morning it goes on the courier, delivered anywhere in New Zealand.
Hamilton Farmers Market pickup
Reserve your fruit online and collect it from our stall on Sunday morning — nothing sold out from under you.
Next stall: Sunday 7 February, 08:00–12:00
Farm gate pickup
Collect straight from the orchard during an open window.
One rule worth knowing up front: raspberries never travel by courier. They don’t survive the trip, so they’re pickup only. More on delivery and pickup.
Certified, not just claimed
BioGro certified organic
“Organic” is a word anyone can print on a label. BioGro certification means an independent auditor walks our orchard, reads our records and checks what has and hasn’t been applied to every block. It is the standard New Zealand exporters are held to, and we hold ourselves to it for the fruit we sell down the road as well.
