About us
Kainui Pack & Cool is a family-owned horticultural business that manages, grows, picks and packs kiwifruit and citrus for a number of orchards in Kerikeri. Owners Alan and Helen Thompson have been growing fruit in New Zealand’s sub-tropical climate for 40 years, starting with melons & vegetables, then lemons and mandarins, and now also gold, green and red kiwifruit.
With the business expanding, construction has just been completed on a new packhouse and cool store in Waipapa. We have now started our 2023 packing season in the new premises.


Alf Muaulu, our Orchard Supervisor, has been with us for 10 years, his experience makes him an integral part of our team
