Pieters Horticulture is a tight knit, family owned and operated business. We focus on the growth and production of our own orchards, as well as providing a quality service to our Kiwifruit growing peers. This mantra is underpinned by an unwavering commitment to integrity when dealing with customers, employees and suppliers.
Pieters Horticulture is the result of founders, Hendrik and Beverley Pieters, long association with the New Zealand Kiwifruit industry. Based in Te Puke, the self-proclaimed capital of New Zealand’s Kiwifruit industry, Hendrik has been growing Kiwifruit and developing his own orchards since 1978. Since then, he, and later wife Beverley, have focused on sustainably growing their business into what it is today.
In 2015, Hendrik and Beverley’s son Simon moved back to Te Puke to get involved in the business having completed training as an electrician and then completing a Bachelor of Management Studies at Waikato University. Daughter Louise, an architectural graduate, also helps out on special projects when time allows.
Currently Pieters Horticulture focuses on two broad activities, Kiwifruit picking in the autumn, and male Kiwifruit flower picking and pollen extraction in the spring. Both activities are labour intensive requiring greater levels of staff throughout these periods.
