Dms Progrowers Ltd
About us From humble origins back in 1989, DMS has evolved into what many consider to be pound-for-pound the most highly performing Kiwifruit Management and Processing operation in the country. What we do The secret to DMS’s success is having owners who are also the company’s biggest customers, and a working reputation that attracts the very best people. With an ownership structure that genuinely puts growers first, and the very best people on board, it’s no surprise DMS continues to go from strength to strength. As well as operating two major post-harvest facilities, DMS also manages over 100 orchards on behalf of DMS’s owners and clients. Alongside its Kiwifruit interests, DMS is also committed to the avocado industry with picking, packing, management and lease options available. Underpinned by the philosophy that it’s our job to maximise all our clients returns, our avocado growers benefit from a performance focussed approach typically reserved for kiwifruit growers. The standard gets set high at DMS, and that’s why more and more growers refuse to settle for anything less than DMS.

26 Seasons
26 Seasons was born in a small Wellington garage in 2017, initially growing microgreens. Even though our focus has shifted to growing strawberries, when we first started we knew two things - we wanted to produce the best-tasting produce for chefs and home cooks alike, but we wanted to do it without taking too much from our land. So, mixing a lot of Kiwi ingenuity with plenty of research and expert advice, we are proud to say the result is sustainable farming and business practices that mean we can now grow strawberries year-round without any compromise to taste and distribute our products with minimal impact on Mother Nature. We do not use any soils, approximately 90% of our water is recycled and, our packaging is recyclable. Our indoor controlled environment farm is in Foxton, New Zealand, supplying the North Island with freshly grown strawberries, thereby reducing food miles. But we aren't stopping there - we are always challenging ourselves to find innovative and sustainable solutions for the love of our planet.
