A History of Quality
All our cherry orchards are in stunning Cromwell, Central Otago, the cherry capital of New Zealand.
With exceptionally mineral rich soil, Cromwell's fruit growing history goes back to the first settlers during the gold rush. The first fruit trees were planted to sustain settlers while they chased their gold-finding dreams. Little did they know that fruit, and particularly cherries, would become the true gold of the region in years to come.
Pure Otago cherries are grown over 80 hectares of orchards, owned by 11 passionate cherry growers, and packed by Pure Pac.
Together we are committed to delivering the highest quality cherries to our customers around the world. For more information about Pure Pac and our growers visit www.purepac.nz
