Market Gardeners Limited (MG) is proud of its heritage and the strong sense of togetherness it has developed over the past century. On 5 November 2023, our Kiwi owned co-operative will herald 100 years of marketing, selling and distributing fresh produce on behalf of our family of growers.

It’s with great pride and appreciation that we reflect on the commitment and courage of the small band of resolute growers who wanted to work together to leverage greater value for their produce. It was from these humble beginnings that the foundations were laid for a successful co-operative that values the benefits of shared knowledge and collective capability. Today, MG represents over 400 grower shareholders and serves over 1,000 customers – providing everyday Kiwi’s with access to fresh, healthy produce.

We are proud of our long history, firstly as a grower-owned business delivering sales and marketing services, and in more recent decades as an integrated fresh produce group with a range of complementary subsidiary and associate businesses. We hold in high regard all of the people who have contributed to our long-standing success, particularly our loyal growers, our valued customers and our strong team of MG staff (past and present) who have shaped our business.

Here’s to growing together.
