Seen the FIRST or SUNKIST brands at your supermarket or produce shop? That’s us! First Fresh New Zealand. Providing fresh locally grown citrus and Gisborne produce to the Nation and beyond. You can pick our brands for fresh, delicious, locally grown produce you can trust.

At First Fresh it’s our job is to connect growers to supply you with the fruit you would have picked for your own family: fresh, in season, top quality and the pick of the bunch. First Fresh fruit is fruit you can buy and eat with confidence and gusto.

‘First’, our flagship brand name says it all: First to see the sun, First in quality, First in flavour.

Embodying the premium freshness and taste of Gisborne grown produce, First is for those who expect the very best from their fresh fruit. Famous among our wholesale partners for consistent quality and reliability, First (established 1989) is the oldest brand in the First Fresh stable. Simultaneously our primary export brand and our premium domestic brand, First is reserved for our very best produce enjoyed at home and around the globe.

First Fresh works with approximately 150 local growers. Our trailblazing loyalty to the Tairāwhiti Gisborne region has seen us rewarded with the best local growers – many of whom are second generation in our First Fresh family. This family is one we have grown over decades, comprising long-serving staff, growers and customers.

Our Tree to Trolley philosophy ensures our growers’ premium produce gets to the consumer with utmost care: First Fresh produce is guaranteed fresh, delicious, nutritious and perfect.

Why is First Fresh fruit so good? It could be the Tairāwhiti Gisborne sunshine, the passion and knowledge of our expert growers, or the energy we put into doing things the right way. Whatever it is, we’ve harnessed some magic here, and we love sharing it: from our trees to your table, and from our family to yours.

Choose the First and Sunkist labels wherever you buy fruit and you’ll enjoy premium quality, optimal nutrition and great taste.
