Punchbowl kiwi flower farm is an orchard at 42 Quinn Rd, Mauku, in the Franklin district, with a Google rating of 5.0. Its website is punchbowlkiwiflower.nz, and its name suggests a kiwifruit and flower farm.
A good orchard grows its crop with care, and tells you honestly what is ripe, when and how to use it. Kiwifruit is usually picked in autumn and often stored for weeks, so ask how long fruit keeps and how to ripen it, since firm fruit ripens faster next to a banana or an apple. If an orchard sells flowers, ask which are in season and how to keep them fresh. Opening days at small farms can change with the season and the weather, so check the website before you go, and bring cash or a card, since not every farm gate has eftpos. Regulars buy seasonal produce in bulk and ask about seconds, and they follow the farm's pages for harvest news.
For people in Mauku and the Franklin district, Punchbowl kiwi flower farm is worth contacting to ask what is available.
