Meet Our Host: Bounce Fruit
We’re thrilled to have Bounce Fruit Limited as the host of the upcoming Fleet Horticulture Launch on 16–17 September at their Cherry Orchard in Meeanee, Napier.
BounceFruit is a proudly family-owned orchard and fruit-packing business based in the heart of Hawke’s Bay, just outside Waipukurau. With rows of fruit trees soaking up the sunshine and a deep commitment to sustainability, they’re all about growing premium produce—apples, pears, and more—packed with care and pride.
At the helm is Graeme Hodges, a seasoned horticulturalist with a passion for doing things right, building strong industry relationships, and supporting future growers. Alongside him is Simone Bruwer, who brings expertise in plant physiology and business analysis—together forming a powerhouse team driving both practical innovation and smart strategy.
We’re incredibly grateful to Graeme, Simone, and the team at BounceFruit for opening their orchard to host our launch. Their vision for sustainability, innovation, and community perfectly aligns with what Fleet Horticulture is all about.
👉 We can’t wait to showcase the latest in orchard innovation in partnership with such a forward-thinking team.
