Now you can buy top quality, delicious, nutritious, biologically grown avocados online, direct from the grower, and have them delivered straight to you.
We have a 15 hectare orchard of around 2200 mostly Hass variety avocado trees at Cooks Beach, on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula, NZ.
We are in the process of converting our orchard to certified organic, and follow biological growing principles - in simple terms this means we produce quality avocados from the ground up - by carefully looking after the soil with quality organic inputs a tree can reach optimum health and produce fruit (in this case avocados) that have optimum levels of nutrients.
We do not use chemical sprays, pesticides, insecticides or chemically produced fertilisers.
Avocado to You was started out of our passion for food that not only tastes good, but is good for you. We found that whenever we gave avocados to our friends and family, they always commented that our avocados were so much nicer than the ones they could buy in a supermarket, and that they were fed up with paying high prices for single avocados only to find them rotten or mushy inside when they went to use them.
Now you too can enjoy the convenience of home delivery of carefully grown, nutritious avocados, handpicked and packed for you, that haven't spent any time in refrigerated or modified atmosphere storage - we just pick them, pack them and send them straight to you !
Ordering
12-15 (depending on size) fresh NZ grown avocados in each box.
You can order either a full green box; or a mixed box of full-green fruit + fruit that will ripen sooner.
Note - mixed boxes are subject to availability of semi-ripe fruit as this is picked in advance of orders.
For South Island orders, we recommend ordering a full green box as delivery times are often longer.
Pricing
Freight within NZ is $7.50 per box (Parcel Post tracked).
We do not freight outside NZ at this time.

All orders will be shipped next business day after you make payment. If payment is made by online banking on a weekend, we will ship your box of avocados on a Tuesday.
It normally takes 2-3 working days to deliver your box of avocados, or 3-5 working days for South Island deliveries.
Ripening and Storage Info
Avocados typically take 7-14 days (after picking) to ripen at room temperature, eg in your fruit bowl at home.
If you order a box of mixed ripeness, half of your fruit will have been picked 3-5 days earlier, so that you can enjoy your box of avocados over a longer time.
You can store unripe avocados in the fridge, and them take them out when you want them to finish ripening - this way you can make your fruit last even longer, although the eating quality of these may not be quite as good as fruit left to ripen out of the fridge.
Best way to extend the eating time - when your avocado is just ripe, place in the fridge and it will be good to eat for another 3-4 days.
Please note ! ripening times are not an exact science - it depends on the stage of the season, and the conditions/time of year for ripening. We have given the suggestions above as a guideline so you can manage for yourself how many avocados you have at the ripeness you like to eat them.
