Produce and seedlings are available at the Stonewall Village Saturday Market in Tryphena from August to December. Seasonal produce boxes are available almost year round, picked fresh to order. We also supply local shops and eateries with salad greens.

What our customers are saying

The quality and freshness of the organic produce from Okiwi Passion is an inspiration for many of my seasonal dishes. The vibrant colours and the intenseness of flavour you get only from fresh picked fruit and vegetables affords me the pleasure of using produce from Okiwi Passion as an integral flavour in my creations. When planning my menus, it’s always a pleasure to chat with Caity, Gerald and their team to see what’s new and be advised as to when their various crops will be at optimum readiness for the table. They harvest to order and deliver on the same day.Their attention to detail is most appreciated and a great asset for the restaurants on Great Barrier Island.

We have been purchasing weekly veggie boxes from Okiwi Passion for several years. Their produce, service and knowledge are top notch. I frequent their Saturday weekly market stall to top up and ask advice about everything they sell. They are always helpful, enthusiastic and fun. In addition, they provide frequent workshops on all sorts of activities throughout the island. Plus, they will procure anything you could want in terms of trees and seedlings. They are nothing short of amazing.
