— it’s part of who we are. For generations, we’ve worked the land, introduced new varieties, and stayed true to our roots to bring New Zealand a vegetable that’s both versatile and nourishing. Our story is one of innovation and care, built on a strong foundation of tradition and quality.
Red kumara may be the classic favourite, but we’ve expanded the family. Today, we grow four delicious varieties: Red, Gold, Orange and Purple. Each brings its own colour, flavour, and texture to the table. Whether you’re roasting, mashing or creating something new, there’s a Delta kumara to suit every style of cooking.

We follow strict growing standards, hand sort our crops, and store them in ideal conditions to deliver the freshest produce. The result: quality kumara available all year round.
Follow the Growing Journey
Kumara was first brought to New Zealand by Māori settlers — a crop chosen for its resilience, nutrition, and long shelf life. Grown across the North Island, it quickly became a staple in the Māori diet. Today, we carry on this legacy using responsible, certified growing practices.
