A BIT ABOUT US

The Orchard Store is the creation of Roger and Anna Brownlie. Founded in 2004 over the years they have developed their family run business into a neat go-to place for Bayview locals and passersby to stop in for their tasty fruit and vegetable needs. 

PASSIONATE ABOUT GROWING

Horticulture has always been in the grass roots for Roger Brownlie, having been brought up on the family citrus farm in Bayview from the beginning. Roger went onto study a Diploma of Horticulture at the University of Massey in Palmerston North and then started his own orcharding venture in the early 90’s. Roger is a passionate grower and in the recent years has put in an innovative upright fruiting offshoot (UFO) growing system across his apricots and cherries to double production off the same land area. 

FROM LAND TO TABLE

Overall Roger & Anna's mission is to grow ripe for eating fruit which comes from our trees in Bayview onto the table of fruit lovers homes.
We also focus on sourcing from local outlets where we can which all helps to support small local Hawkes Bay businesses.
