Hi there,
We're Geneva Fruits, based in Whangarei, New Zealand. With our extensive experience growing tropical fruit and fruit in general over the years, back to when we were still living in East London, South Africa. We transferred a lot of that experience we learnt from there, to here in New Zealand. Although a lot we had to alter to suit the New Zealand climate, soil and other factors that coul
d affect the growth of what's being grown by us. With all this experience under our belt, we're bringing out the best of what we have been growing and people have seen that themselves after trying out our fruit. On our property we grow a wide variety of different produce, which includes: Coffee, Sugarcane, Prickly Pears, Dragon Fruit, Cherimoya, Passionfruit as well as Banana's and most notably the Pineapples. We currently have around 30,000+ pineapple plants planted. We sell our Pineapples to the Whangarei growers market (when we have them available) which starts at 6am and ends at 10am. Our pineapples sell out very early, so if you want to purchase one/some of the most succulent and juicy pineapples around, we'd highly suggest that you get there as early as you can after it opens, as you may end up losing out purchasing fruits that week; as our pineapples are in very high demand after all the publicity we've been getting on them. We've had a number media networks, such as radio, newspapers, magazines and shows contacting us over the past few years, here are some of the highlights listed below. Seven Sharp:

The volume of people who have contacted us to date has been amazing and we're very thankful for all the positive messages and feedback we've been given, with what we've been doing. We believe that the pineapples we have are some of the best you'll ever taste. Our pineapples are spray free and are as fresh as it gets. They are sold with the tops on, where as the ones sold in supermarkets are not.
