Harvest Methods/Options

• Machine Harvested
• Hand Harvested

The vast majority of our fruit is machine harvested. Modern harvesters have the technology to select only the ripe fruit to pick at each pass. Most growers would pass through their fields of boysenberries 7 to 9 times each harvest season.

Boysenberries New Zealand will hand harvest to order for specialty customers. Please note orders need to be placed well in advance of the harvest season – by 31st October of each year. An additional charge is required to hand harvest.

All fruit is hand sorted and inspected prior to packing.
