At Highford we believe food connects people. The joy that comes from sharing a meal around a table with the people you love is hard to replicate. New Zealand is home to some of the best meat, seafood, dairy, and retail goods on the planet and we love nothing more than sharing our food and our stories with the world.
From day one Highford was built on the values that today, 25 years on, are still at the heart of the business; long-term partnerships, only selling what we believe in and to deliver above all else.
While the produce Highford supplies speak for itself, the service Highford provides to get these products into your markets is what makes us unique. Highford works with our clients to consolidate orders, to test smaller runs of new products as well as partnering to educate the market and your teams on how to store, prepare, and ultimately fall in love with the quality New Zealand produce we supply. And we do all of this on a foundation of deep understanding of the markets we operate in and an ongoing view of market trends.
We’re not here for the quick win, we are here for the long term and to do this we see ourselves as an extension of your business, not just a supplier. While others sell you what they want, Highford gives you what you need.
We have established our own private brand Pure Aotearoa (Aotearoa being the indigenous name for New Zealand). We currently produce our own organic mussels, oysters, honey, water, and frozen berries. The ‘Pure’ brand is synonymous with premium, quality products New Zealand has to offer and we will be adding further items under Pure Aotearoa shortly.
Culinary taste comes and goes, but quality endures. With incredibly high standards when sourcing and equally consistent standards of client service, we continue to deliver the very best of quality New Zealand goods.
