About BayFarms

Once upon a time, in the sunny Bay of Plenty, two avocado-loving visionaries, Alister Hawkey and Ron Bailey, saw an opportunity. Their plan? Simple! Deliver fresh, top-quality avocados to the New Zealand public. So, in 1995, BayFarms was born!

What started as a humble hustle to sell avocados locally soon emerged into something a whole lot bigger. Fast forward to today and we are trusted by the country’s top supermarkets, cafes, sushi bars, and avocado lovers just like yourselves.

But Wait, There’s More…

BayFarms isn’t just a cool name with a fruity logo. We’re a full-on marketing machine run by real avocado growers and backed by Trevelyan Pack & Cool Ltd (TPCL). In fact, BayFarms is proudly 50% owned by Trevelyan Avocado Growers Ltd (nine grower directors) and 50% by TPCL.

About BayFarms Crew

Meet the Avo Crew.

At the heart of BayFarms is Zara Marra, she leads the charge with passion, precision, and just the right amount of avocado obsession. By her side is the unstoppable Rebecca Moffit, along with a fantastic team who keep things moving smoothly—from the packhouse to your pantry.

If you’ve ordered online, you’ve already experienced their magic (and probably their lightning-fast dispatch skills). They’re the reason your avocados arrive looking lush, fresh, and ready for toast.

Why We Do What We Do

We’re not here just to sell avocados. We’re here to connect local growers with local eaters, minimise waste, maximise quality, and keep everything we do good for the land, the people, and your taste buds. And remember, sustainability isn’t a buzzword here—it’s a promise.

So, the next time you slice into a creamy BayFarms avo, just know: You’re tasting a bit of sunshine, and the hard mahi of a whole lot of passionate people.
