Our company is privately owned and operated, passionate about sourcing only the freshest, tastiest and healthiest New Zealand “home grown” produce as well as honouring our finest growers. Here at DryNZ we love drying fruit and veg. Naturally we all have our favourites but the entire process from choosing our growers to producing delicious products gives us a huge amount of satisfaction especially when repeat customers enjoy them just as much as we do.
Hi everyone,
I have the absolute privilege of managing a committed team of employees who are loyal to DryNZ and we in turn love their loyalty.
For me, it started with one of our owners suggesting I try their finely powdered turmeric as I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. At the time I was on medication and about to increase the meds when I decided ‘enough was enough’ and was open to trying something natural. I started on one tsp of turmeric daily, the meds were discarded and I am now pain and ‘med’ free. Soon after, I became an investor and I now run the Company for a group of active and very interested investors. It’s a dream role and couldn’t live without it.
Enjoy our products, just as much as we enjoy bringing them to you.
Here’s to tasting our fabulous New Zealand.
Stay healthy,
Anne Gibson
Managing Director
