For Bill, home is where avocados are grown with care. Free draining soil, high rainfall, and early summers – an avocado grower’s dream.

My name is Bill Wiessing and I’m an avocado grower.

I started in avocados by helping my uncle set up his orchard down in Whangarei and from there I started on this property on the 4th of April 2004… and I’ve been here ever since. This really does feel like home for me. It feels like where I want to spend my time, which is great.

We have a fantastic combination of very good, free draining soil. As well as high rainfall and very good weather. So, we get the benefit of summer almost starting earlier in this part of New Zealand than it does further south.
