Organic AVOCADOS
We grow avocados organically and sustainably in Ethiopia’s nutrient-rich, volcanic Rift Valley. They are the anchor tree crop for each of our farmers and central to the regenerative agroforestry farming model that we advocate. Rich soil and ideal altitude, combined with Ethiopia’s thirteen months of sunshine, lead to avocados with robust flavours and rich, creamy flesh.
Our five varieties have been selected for their suitability to our soil, depth of flavour and the degree of choice they afford to customers. All are certified organic to the EU standard.
GreenPath Varieties include
Hass
The iconic pebble-skinned avocado, our organic Hass has rich, rounded flavour, clean texture, and deep purple skin upon ripening. Peak season from March through September.
Fuerte
Originally a cross between native Mexican and Guatemalan varieties, our organic Fuerte offers a nutty flavour, notably creamy texture, and maintains her green colour while ripening. Peak season from March through September.
Nabal
A rare and distinctive avocado variety, our organic Nabal is gloriously large and spherical with exceptionally creamy flesh and a gentle coconut flavour. A customer favourite for its rarity. Peak season from July through September.
Ettinger
Smooth-skinned and fat, our organic Ettinger has a delicious rounded flavour, a smooth bite, and a clean green exterior. Peak season from March through August.
Pinkerton
A distinctive pear shape, our organic Pinkerton has deep flavour, and a relatively small stone, providing a generous amount of delicious flesh to enjoy. Dimpled and purple, it sits visually closest to Hass. Fruits from March through August, at very small volumes.
