mrapple.comMr Apple describes itself as New Zealand's largest integrated grower, packer and exporter of apples, supplying customers with fruit from New Zealand orchards. Its apples are scanned outside and inside for quality, and each one is still checked by hand. The Mr Apple story traces back to the 1980s, when apples were sold under a government-sanctioned single selling system run by the New Zealand Apple and Pear Board, and it markets its fruit under a 5 point promise.
