Description
Monavale Blueberries is a family-owned and operated orchard and has been growing organic blueberries since 1985. Our 40-hectare orchard is situated on beautiful peat soils in the heart of the Waikato, on the Moanatuatua Plains with views to Pirongia, Maungatautari and Kakepuku, and is the largest certified organic blueberry orchard in Australasia.
Our business supplies fresh and frozen berries all over New Zealand, and exports to Australia, South-East Asia, and the USA. We supply all major supermarkets in New Zealand, and many smaller and boutique retailers.
On the orchard, our family-owned and operated hospitality venue - Café Irresistiblue - celebrates 15 years in 2024. We showcase produce from our farm and from other New Zealand producers, organic and local wherever possible.
We also produce and supply value-added products, and are always on the lookout for new ideas and collaborations. We make our own chutneys and jams, sauces and juices. We also produce our own gin, 'Blue', and our own wine in three styles. In collaboration with another New Zealand company, we produce a blueberry-infused gouda cheese. We even have our own range of blueberry dog biscuits!
We strive to produce the most premium fruit possible, and provide healthy berries across an extended harvest season from late October until April. We employ more than 300 people each year. We are always seeking the most cutting-edge methods to improve our processes and increase our impact, while staying true to the principles and practices of organic agriculture and soil health.
Please get in touch with wholesale, retail or collaboration enquiries.
