Our Community
We rely on our workforce to help us produce first-rate products. We focus on employee wellbeing and this reaches beyond the orchards and into the community. Naturally we also focus on the improvement of the lives of our employees, their families and the communities in which they reside.
Nothing inspires employees more than being afforded the opportunity to improve the quality of their lives, therefore we strive to motivate, inspire, develop and sustain an ethical work environment that provides opportunity and encourages growth.
All our initiatives are done at our own expense and without any government funding support.
We believe when our employees are highly trained, happy and motivated we can ascend to new heights.
