Mangaweka Asparagus Pack House

It has a dedicated team of locals who come on board every year for the busy harvest season.

Because of its isolated location away from a bigger centre and labour source, the majority of harvest and packhouse staff come out for the seasonal work from Vanuatu. These young men are predominantly from the small outlying islands of Mota Lava and Futuna. They are now a key part of the business and the friendships, it now shares with both current and ex staff has been more valuable than it could have ever imagined.
