🍒 How it works

From orchard to your door, start to finish.

Here's exactly what happens between reserving your box and it landing on your doorstep.

1

You reserve and pay online

Choose your box size, pay in full to lock it in. We only buy what's actually been ordered, no guessing, no waste.

2

We place our order with the orchard

Once reservations close, we order fresh cherries direct from New Zealand growers, matched to confirmed demand.

3

Cherries are picked and freighted to Auckland

Fresh-picked cherries travel chilled the whole way to keep them in top condition.

4

We hand-pack your box

Cherries are weighed, checked, and packed into your box the moment they arrive, no sitting around losing freshness.

5

Hand-delivered to your door

No courier, no depot. Our own small team delivers straight to your Auckland address on a set delivery date.

⏱️ A quick, honest note on timing

Cherries are picked fresh through the season and we order to match what's been reserved, so we deliver in two weeks only: the week of 7 December and the week of 14 December. You choose which week when you reserve. The first week suits client and staff gifts, and the second is the final stretch before Christmas. We email everyone their exact delivery day well ahead of time. If you're ordering for an office, please double check your team is still around on that date.

Common questions

When do reservations close?

Reservations close mid-November, since we only buy what's been ordered ahead of a tight harvest window.

Do I need to be home for delivery?

Ideally yes, since cherries are perishable and delivery happens on a set date. Let us know your delivery notes (e.g. leave with a neighbour) and we'll do our best to work around you.

What if I need to cancel?

Your order is fully refundable until 30 November. After that, get in touch as early as possible. Since we buy against confirmed orders, later cancellations may not be refundable, but we'll always work with you where we can.

Can I send a box as a gift with a card?

Yes. Tick "It's a gift" when you reserve, then add who it's from and a short message. We'll include a card in the box. Ordering for clients or staff? Choose Business. We deliver all your boxes to you in one go, with the same card in every box, so you can pass them on.

How do I know my cherries will still be fresh?

They're picked, packed, and delivered within days. Refrigerate on arrival and they're best enjoyed within 5 to 7 days.

Ready to reserve your box?

Harvest volume is limited. Orders are filled as they're paid.
