The Produce Company Empowering Chefs & Hospitality Professionals throughout the North Island, from Whangarei to Taupo, with top-quality produce, meat, dairy, and more.

NZ-owned, we provide everything needed to create exceptional menus and unforgettable culinary experiences. We are a premium food supplier, providing unique & fresh produce to our Chefs. We understand that our Chefs are intellectually curious, creative and incredibly passionate about their work and strive to achieve. They seek out new foods, recipes and techniques to stay on top of changing food trends and want to achieve culinary greatness. We know our Chefs take pride in their ability to produce consistently great dishes that exceed the expectations of their clientele, which can only be created by using the finest and freshest ingredients. And our business has been built on bringing them each season’s best vegetables, fruit and herbs, and the highest quality meat, dairy and dry goods. We go out every day with one intention: to buy the best from the best, and then deliver it on time, every time. We got here by exceeding expectations, and never forgetting that there are hard-fought reputations at stake every day, a shipment of overripe fruit, or a delivery of substandard meat, can really put a kitchen on its back foot, both in terms of money and time. Like us, attention to detail is everything to our Chefs and we continue to work as a team at PCL to ensure we are delivering the freshest produce day in and day out and the best service to our customers because every great chef understands that the best dishes can only be created by using the finest and freshest ingredients. PCL are the pivotal link between the chefs we support to push the culinary envelope and the dedicated growers and farmers who produce the country’s choicest, most flavoursome ingredients. Without us, nothing gets from field to plate as fast and as fresh. We understand ambition. We understand that timing is everything. We understand our growers and we think like our chefs. We are as picky and driven and as proud of what we do as everyone we work with is. Our team and our service are second to none. We got here by exceeding expectations, and never forgetting that there are hard-fought reputations at stake every day. We stay here by delivering unbeatable freshness, day in and day out, so chefs can concentrate on creating their next great dish. We are all in this thing for the same reason: to be the very best at what we do. WORKING TOGETHER, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

This is one to watch 🍅

In October, Heirloom Tomatoes are coming to The Produce Company, and if you’re building a menu around peak-season produce, this is one to watch.

Think deep colour, distinctive varieties, delicate texture and the kind of full, properly tomatoey flavour that needs very little done to it.

For you, that means endless possibilities:
→ A hero ingredient on the plate
→ Simply dressed with great oil and sea salt
→ Layered through a seasonal salad
→ Roasted, grilled or blistered
→ Paired with fresh herbs, creamy cheeses or seafood
→ Or served completely unapologetically on its own

Because when the produce is this good, the chef's job is simple, let it shine!

🍅 Arriving this October at The Produce Company.

What would you put on the plate with the first Heirlooms of the season?

Which mushroom would you reach for to build flavour?

Shiitake for umami. Oyster for texture. Enoki for delicacy. Portobello for depth.

The right mushroom can change the entire dish.

SHIITAKE + KOMBU Deep, savoury and intensely umami. Together, they create the foundation for a powerful dashi.

FIELD / PORTOBELLO + BLUE CHEESE Meaty, earthy and robust. Blue cheese brings salt, richness and funk that stands up to its intensity.

BUTTON + PARMESAN Mild and delicate. Parmesan adds salt, nuttiness and savoury depth without overpowering the mushroom.

OYSTER + MISO + SESAME Delicate, earthy and textural. Miso builds savouriness while sesame brings richness and aroma.

ENOKI + SOY + GINGER Fine, delicate and all about texture. Soy adds salinity and umami; ginger brings brightness and lift.

What's in your mushroom toolkit?

There’s something exciting about an ingredient that invites you to rethink the familiar. Slice it raw, char it over flame, pair it with something rich, or let its vibrant acidity bring a dish to life.

Celebrating 25 Years of The Produce Company

25 years is a long time in New Zealand hospitality.

Over that time, we’ve seen the industry grow and evolve, from the way chefs think about ingredients and seasonality, to the way New Zealand food is experienced and celebrated. Through all those changes, our role has remained the same: connecting the people who grow and produce great food with the kitchens that bring it to the plate.

For 25 years, we’ve had the privilege of being part of that journey, working alongside growers, producers, chefs, customers and suppliers, and helping build the relationships that connect the farm to the kitchen.

So as we celebrate this milestone, we want to say thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey.

At the heart of it all are the people who make it happen, the growers and producers who nurture what goes into our kitchens, and the chefs who turn those ingredients into something worth gathering around.

25 years in business is something we’re incredibly proud of, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

We’re grateful for the journey so far, and excited for everything that’s still to come.
