The Produce Company Empowering Chefs & Hospitality Professionals throughout the North Island, from Whangarei to Taupo, with top-quality produce, meat, dairy, and more.

NZ-owned, we provide everything needed to create exceptional menus and unforgettable culinary experiences. We are a premium food supplier, providing unique & fresh produce to our Chefs. We understand that our Chefs are intellectually curious, creative and incredibly passionate about their work and strive to achieve. They seek out new foods, recipes and techniques to stay on top of changing food trends and want to achieve culinary greatness. We know our Chefs take pride in their ability to produce consistently great dishes that exceed the expectations of their clientele, which can only be created by using the finest and freshest ingredients. And our business has been built on bringing them each season’s best vegetables, fruit and herbs, and the highest quality meat, dairy and dry goods. We go out every day with one intention: to buy the best from the best, and then deliver it on time, every time. We got here by exceeding expectations, and never forgetting that there are hard-fought reputations at stake every day, a shipment of overripe fruit, or a delivery of substandard meat, can really put a kitchen on its back foot, both in terms of money and time. Like us, attention to detail is everything to our Chefs and we continue to work as a team at PCL to ensure we are delivering the freshest produce day in and day out and the best service to our customers because every great chef understands that the best dishes can only be created by using the finest and freshest ingredients. PCL are the pivotal link between the chefs we support to push the culinary envelope and the dedicated growers and farmers who produce the country’s choicest, most flavoursome ingredients. Without us, nothing gets from field to plate as fast and as fresh. We understand ambition. We understand that timing is everything. We understand our growers and we think like our chefs. We are as picky and driven and as proud of what we do as everyone we work with is. Our team and our service are second to none. We got here by exceeding expectations, and never forgetting that there are hard-fought reputations at stake every day. We stay here by delivering unbeatable freshness, day in and day out, so chefs can concentrate on creating their next great dish. We are all in this thing for the same reason: to be the very best at what we do. WORKING TOGETHER, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Celebrating 25 Years of The Produce Company

25 years is a long time in New Zealand hospitality.

Over that time, we’ve seen the industry grow and evolve, from the way chefs think about ingredients and seasonality, to the way New Zealand food is experienced and celebrated. Through all those changes, our role has remained the same: connecting the people who grow and produce great food with the kitchens that bring it to the plate.

For 25 years, we’ve had the privilege of being part of that journey, working alongside growers, producers, chefs, customers and suppliers, and helping build the relationships that connect the farm to the kitchen.

So as we celebrate this milestone, we want to say thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey.

At the heart of it all are the people who make it happen, the growers and producers who nurture what goes into our kitchens, and the chefs who turn those ingredients into something worth gathering around.

25 years in business is something we’re incredibly proud of, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

We’re grateful for the journey so far, and excited for everything that’s still to come.

The first spears of asparagus are arriving at The Produce Company, marking the beginning of the season with their crisp texture, delicate sweetness and fresh, earthy flavour.

A little menu inspiration:
• Chargrill for smoky, blistered edges with lemon, parmesan & hollandaise.
• Shave raw into ribbons for a crisp, elegant salad with herbs & citrus.
• Fold through risotto for a creamy dish lifted by fresh, seasonal flavour.
• Roast until caramelised and pair with fish, lamb or steak.
• Pickle for a bright, punchy garnish that cuts through richer dishes.

As the season unfolds, what are you most looking forward to?
