Richard has a passion for horticulture, as well as for the growth and success of the industry. He’s been in the industry since 2010, and over that time has been involved in growing Apples, Kiwifruit and Berry Fruit.
Richard has long been involved in the running and coordinating of the Nelson Young Grower of the Year Competition, as well as the Motueka Fruit Growers Association and working for MPI.
Getting out on the hills on a MTB is Richard’s key to enjoyment. You’ll see him over summer once a week at the Rural Riders events in Nelson/Tasman, which he also coordinates for the region.
