Wai West Horticulture Ltd is a proudly family-owned business rooted in the sunny, fertile soils of the Nelson-Tasman region. Since 1983, we’ve been growing high-quality fruit with a strong focus on sustainability, innovation, and community.

Over the past four decades, Wai West has grown from a small orchard operation into one of the region’s most established horticultural businesses. We now manage a diverse portfolio of orchards and properties across the Waimea Plains, specialising in the production of premium apples, kiwifruit, boysenberries, and feijoa crops.

Our team combines generations of hands-on experience with forward-thinking horticultural practices. Whether it’s pioneering new varieties, developing new growing structures, investing in smart irrigation, or improving soil health for future generations — we believe in doing things the right way, not just the easy way.

We are also proud to play a significant role in the region’s employment economy, with a strong commitment to fair work conditions, worker wellbeing, and safe, modern facilities for our teams.
