We take great care in looking after our land.

Understanding our responsibility with respect to the Barrier Reef catchment, and our land for future generations, we have been working very hard to absolutely minimise our chemical use. We have found that the use of chemicals to try and control insects has created increased reliance not reduced, in response to this we have introduced integrated pest management combining high level of bug and disease checking along with the incorporation of beneficial insects. In doing so we have almost eliminated insecticide use on the farm for all domestic and international production.

Fostering rich soils within a unique climate.

The farm consists of 300 hectares of land in a unique climate with rich virgin soils, high calcium in the water and the perfect dry winter growing season. Beautiful clear winter days with the temperature in the daytime maintaining a consistent 26 to 28 degrees.
