LD Family Investments wins Northland Farm Enviroment Awards

Alan and Helen Thompson, who grow kiwifruit, lemons, melons and grapes on 70ha at Kerikeri, have won the 2017 Northland Ballance Farm Environment Awards.

LD Family Investments Ltd was established in 2008 when Alan and Helen sold their previous part-owned business, Kerifresh, to Turner and Growers.

Almost a decade on, it has grown into a family-run business with numerous elements - kiwifruit growing and orchard management, lemon growing, melon cropping, grape growing and winemaking, beer brewing, and post-harvest packing and storage.

The couple have built and invested in the area for several decades, growing many fruit varieties and helping to establish horticultural services such as the Kerikeri Fruitgrowers' Society, the Kerikeri Irrigation Scheme and LD Packers.
