NASHI PEAR ORCHARD

Galatea Rd. This established commercial orchard is a recognised supplier of delectable Nashi Pears to the market.

The produce is targeted for domestic supply. This property is one of the earliest NZ Nashi producers, attracting first to market premiums. The owner chooses to manage the supply chain from the Orchard and in so doing gains better efficiencies for the fresh product plus the benefit of increased returns.

The 6.9943 hectare property is mainly planted in 'Hosui' Nashi together with the new, 'Piqa Boo' and a smaller number of 'Hayatama' varieties, with a three year average fruit harvest of 97 Tonne. There is also a stand of oak trees, planted to produce truffles and would also suit shitake mushroom production. The business is complete and self-contained with the onsite packhouse. Staff live locally and return every year for the scheduled harvest, pruning and thinning operations which run for just 21 weeks. This is an established orchard business with proven ongoing performance in a niche market, it would ideally suit someone who wants to run their own successful lifestyle business, with growth potential.
