Yummy Apples for New Zealanders

For a perfectly juicy apple, look for the Yummy sticker. Eco-friendly Yummy apples are grown in New Zealand’s very own fruit bowl – the Hawke's Bay – and packed fresh every day.

Five generations of the Paynter family have been growing Yummy apples since 1870, and because they’re grown especially for New Zealanders (not the export market) you can be sure you'll get the pick of the crop.
