Market Day — August 2026

Come Find Us at the Market

At Fresca Freeze Dry, we're a family business with a simple passion — turning New Zealand's finest fresh fruit into something extraordinary. We freeze dry it at peak ripeness to lock in all the natural flavour, colour, and goodness. No additives, no preservatives. Just pure fruit, reimagined.

We love getting out to local markets to meet the people who enjoy our products. It's where we get to share our story face to face — and let the fruit do the talking.

What to Expect at Our Stand

Come say hello and experience freeze-dried fruit like never before! At our market stand you can:

  • Taste before you buy — we always have samples ready so you can discover your favourites
  • Explore our full range — from tangy kiwifruit crisps to sweet pineapple bites and beyond
  • Ask us anything — we're happy to chat about how freeze-drying works, where our fruit comes from, and how to use our products in your kitchen
  • Pick up a Discovery Pack — perfect if you're new to freeze-dried fruit and want to try a little of everything

Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering us for the first time, there's always something delicious waiting at our stand.
