Haumako’s 2024 harvest marked a major step forward for Wairoa horticulture, with new automated picking platforms improving fruit quality and worker wellbeing. At Tara and Whakapau Orchards, locals—including cadets—are gaining skills and jobs. Community connections remain strong, with surplus fruit shared locally. More than apples, Haumako is growing futures and leading innovation in sustainable, people-focused horticulture.

Planting is now complete at Paritu Station, marking a major milestone for Wairoa whānau. The 1100-hectare project blends radiata pine and native forest to generate jobs, protect whenua, and create long-term income. With a 30-year work programme ahead, it offers sustainable employment and environmental restoration, while reconnecting iwi with their land and supporting future generations through culturally meaningful initiatives.

This is the first newsletter for the trust and forms part of a larger communications plan for the organisation. Much like our social media posts the newsletter is aimed at telling our whānau about what we’re up to. You may also notice a lot of newspaper and media articles about us which is also a part of our plan. These media articles are aimed at the wider public and promote what we are doing and how we can do more.

Haumako Tātau Tātau is making significant strides in the horticulture sector, with plans to develop 70 hectares of land for high-production orchards and crops.
