Our Growers Pioneers of regenerative value. The Process Why Harakeke? 01 Regenerative. Harakeke is a 100% regenerative crop. Native to New Zealand, it has evolved to withstand the harsh winds that our mountains and coasts are known for. 03 Complimentary. The harakeke resource ties into existing farming systems like sheep, beef and dairy. It grows on land otherwise not suitable for farming. 02 Strong. Harakeke leaves contain highly stiff, strong and long fibres. This is what keeps harakeke standing through anything nature throws at it. 04 Creating an Industry. The harakeke industry was once a major industry, and it will be again. Now, we are building a new harakeke industry to solve global problems. Being a Grower Being a KiwiFibre grower involves harvesting harakeke leaves to supply KiwiFibre, while growing and improving your resource. This is a great opportunity to create value through a regenerative crop, and is easily integrated into existing farm systems. It does not replace food crops or other food production.
