our berries

Miro has partnered with BerryCo NZ to acquire the intellectual property rights to a range of blueberry varieties from Mountain Blue Orchards, a world-renowned, long-established and innovative Australian breeder. You will see them in supermarkets as ‘Blue Royal’ and ‘River Run’.

Selected for their suitability to warmer climates, people love these varieties for their flavour, size, juiciness, sweetness and crunch.

handling with care

To ensure our berries arrive fresh and tasty to consumers, we have invested in a state-of-the-art berry packhouse and cool chain in Te Puke.
