Wairoa Avocados is a family avocado orchard on Clarke Road in Te Puna, Bay of Plenty, selling its own Hass avocados direct to customers rather than through a shop. Fruit is picked after the order comes in, packed on the orchard and sent anywhere in New Zealand. The range is boxes. The 2.5 kilogram box is the starting point for new customers, and the Orchard Box and Seconds are sold for people who do not mind natural marks or mixed sizes. Seconds are a little less perfect on the outside. Regular delivery starts from $18 per delivery, and deliveries can be paused, skipped or cancelled at any time. Customers can also buy one-off boxes and choose pickup or delivery. The orchard says its Hass season runs from about July to April. Fruit picked early in the season generally takes around 9 to 18 days to soften, and later fruit about 3 to 10 days. The Google reviews are the orchard's own and carry a 5.0 rating, so the page shows the figures. Our pick in the Bay of Plenty for anyone who wants avocados from the grower.
