Granny Smith harvest is underway here in Hawkes Bay! ๐
The orchards are looking sharp with those bright green beauties coming off the trees and into the bins. Crisp, tangy, and perfect not just for eating fresh but for all those classic kitchen favourites; apple pies, crumbles, and good old-fashioned stewed apples. Nothing quite beats the smell of Granny Smiths cooking away in the kitchen.
Just one of the many varieties weโre harvesting at the moment (watch this space for more updates) with the season keeping the crews busy right across the orchards.
Huge shout out to the team out there doing the mahi โ ladders up and bins filling fast. Early starts, plenty of laughs, and another great day getting the fruit off safely. ๐ช๐๐
Look out for these in you local Woolworths New Zealand stores very soon!
