Southern Fresh is a family-owned business, specialising in growing high-quality salads, herbs, baby vegetables, and flowers (through our Burwood and Freeda brands). From seed to harvest, everything we produce is handled with care, skill, and attention to detail to ensure our customers receive consistent quality every time.
We are a hands-on, fast-paced operation where no two days are the same. As the business continues to grow, we’re always looking for people who are reliable, adaptable, and take pride in doing a job well.
We regularly recruit across multiple parts of the business. Not all roles are advertised at all times, so we welcome expressions of interest from people who want to be considered for future opportunities.

We’re open to a wide range of experience levels, but there are some consistent expectations:
If you’re interested in working with Southern Fresh but don’t see a suitable role currently listed, submit an expression of interest along with your CV.
We review applications as opportunities arise and will contact you if a suitable position becomes available.

Our goal is to provide our discerning clientele with inspirational cuisine solutions. ‘Quality’, ‘freshness’ and ‘flavour’ are our vital ingredients. We pride ourselves on offering a superior product to the New Zealand food industry. Our stringent harvest procedures, thorough grading processes and multiple wash lines all contribute to only the finest quality product leaving our door!
