Kim Young & Sons Ltd

Three generations of Youngs have produced carrots and potatoes from Mt Ruapehu’s volcanic soils using its natural pest control, cold ground storage, snow melt water, and rich fertile earth. It began in the 1950’s when Kim Young bought a farm at Rangataua and grew his own crops. Now his three sons and two grandsons, by planning together, making effective decisions, and working long hours using their own hands, have fulfilled Kim’s vision of the family growing, harvesting, and packing tonnes of produce, export quality carrots and potatoes.
