Our tomatoes are grown in Karaka by the team at NZ Hothouse, who capture the sun's energy in glasshouses and rely on good bugs instead of chemicals to keep their plants healthy — meet the growers behind the produce in your Woop box.
We love working with local suppliers to ensure the best quality produce for our Woop boxes. Read below to find out more about where our tomatoes come from!
Our tomatoes are grown in Karaka by our friends Jason, Mark, Che and Gurwinder.
By growing tomatoes in a glasshouse, the team are able to capture natural energy from the sun which makes the process both eco friendly and extends the natural growing season. They also use no nasty chemicals, instead relying on ‘good bugs’ to control pests on the plants, meaning a healthier tomato and a happier customer!

When we drop off your new box, we can pick up the old one and recycle all of the packaging. We call it Back to Base. Because if we can't take it back, we shouldn't hand it out. Our packaging goes to innovative recycling companies who turn them into something new - like fenceposts, used by vineyards.
