Thomas Bros is a family fruit growing business at 394 Main Road in Riwaka, Tasman, near the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi national parks. The Thomas family has farmed the land since the early 1860s, when it was a sheep station, and it began growing kiwifruit in the 1980s, when Fred Thomas, the fourth generation, moved the farm away from tobacco. Today the fifth and sixth generations are involved.
The business mainly grows kiwifruit and apples for export to Europe, Asia, the Americas, Australia and the Middle East. It also grows cherries and other produce for New Zealand customers, and the site lists a stall. The business describes its work as orchard work, packing, grading, labelling, machinery and logistics, and it says it matches people to the work that suits them. Its office phone is 03 528 7831.
