A family-owned vegetable farm and packing business on the outskirts of Pukekohe, at 71 Tuakau Road, that grows, packs and distributes fresh produce across New Zealand and overseas. The farm was established on ten acres in 1958 by Hira Bhana, whose sons and grandchildren run the business today from the same base.
The business now crops around 1,500 acres, growing potatoes, onions, carrots, pumpkins, cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce. It employs 40 permanent staff and distributes from Kaitaia to Christchurch, supplying retail chains and export markets. The website says the farm is in a rural area known for its fertile volcanic ash soil and long history of vegetable growing, and that the business puts a strong focus on sustainability and quality assurance. The website describes the business as a supplier to the trade rather than a shop for visitors.
