Organic Production

We aim to be the best grower of healthy, good quality produce, produced in an ecologically responsible way.
To produce the highest quality produce we rely upon the best farming practices that work with natural cycles, rather than resorting to intervention from chemical inputs. Our organic farm at Daylesford is AQIS accredited.

For instance, instead of fertilisers we rely on composts to stabilise soils and to provide essential nutrients; instead of herbicides we make use of timely cultivations and ecological interactions between plants to maintain weeds at tolerable levels; instead of pesticides we rely on natural plant resistance and design systems to reduce the presence of pests and diseases.

Quality organic compost

In essence, composting accelerates and facilitates natural processes to reconnect healthy soil with healthy plants, and thereby, healthy people with a healthy environment.

We apply rigid controls to our composting process and the compost provides our soil with all the necessary nutrients, structure and microbiological life to produce the highest quality organic crops.

Our composting facility is fully licensed with the Environmental Agency. We shred the green waste from our farming within 72 hours and specialists the check temperature and moisture regularly for optimum composting. At the end we finely screen the compost for unwanted pathogens, contaminants and toxic elements.
