Old-fashioned, organic Te Puke style

Leo and Diane Whittle’s orchard out the back of No. 4 Road Te Puke, is a world apart, edged with bright gardens and bordered by native bush. The Whittles looked for a year for the right orchard to buy – and 25 years later, they’re still happily growing Zespri Organic Kiwifruit on their 7ha block on the gully edge.
