Don and Elaine have in excess of 40 years agricultural experience between them predominantly in vegetable seed crops,
agronomy and agricultural research.
Our NSW properties are very versatile and have a very reliable supply of good quality irrigation water.
The soils are Sandy to Sandy Loams and provide good access in wet conditions allowing year round cropping.
The home property has been under organic management since 2002 and is now fully certified to the Organic Standard.
In 2005 the property also achieved compliance with the Freshcare guidelines as another step in fully implementing a food
safety program.
In March 2006 the second property was obtained to help meet the increasing demand for our produce and is now also certified
to A-grade organic status.
A third property was purchase in Nov 2008 and is currently at the In-conversion organic level.
This brings the total property area for our NSW properties to 106 ha, with a croppable area of 75% and 11.3% reserved to
protect native vegetation.
In 2009 the venture was extended to Far North Queensland to enable us to supply our major produce lines all year round. One property is
organically certified 'A grade" and another property is undergoing conversion to organic status.
