# Our story

OUR FOUNDATION

## Hand-nurturing world-class Budou; cultivating work-life harmony

 Greencollar New Zealand cultivates premium-quality, handcrafted Japanese eating grapes on its 20-hectare vineyard in the rich alluvial Heretaunga Plains of sunny Hawke’s Bay, on the east coast of New Zealand's north island.

 Founded in 2020, Greencollar New Zealand marries ancient Japanese growing techniques and the world’s finest Budou varieties with New Zealand's renowned horticultural expertise to produce exquisite, premium-quality fruit.

 While growing the world’s finest seedless grapes is the primary aim, Greencollar is also focused on ensuring the company’s employees have every opportunity to achieve their maximum potential while enjoying meaningful work-life balance.

 As a subsidiary of [Greencollar Japan](https://gokushun.com/pages/about), backed by the majority shareholder [Mitsui Fudosan Group](https://www.mitsuifudosan.co.jp/english), Greencollar New Zealand upholds the highest standards of sustainable Budou cultivation.
