Our growers

Well, luckily for us (and all Sydneysiders) some of the best organically grown produce is grown within a couple of hours drive from the city.

A lot of the time, the farmers themselves jump in their ute with their muddy boots and drop all their gorgeously fresh fruit and veg to us still wet with the dew from that morning - it doesn’t get much fresher than that! Say hello if you see them parked out on the road in front of the stores, these fellows and their families are the ones who lovingly grow all the produce you eat from our shelves.

Jean and Alan MacLeod own and run Tuckerflora which is located in Central Mangrove, about 80km north of Sydney. Their main crop is Hass avocados and they have recently obtained organic certification for their mushrooms and are now a key supplier of our mushrooms.

Owned by Michael Champion and located in Mangrove Mountain. Champion’s Mountain Organics is one of the closest biodynamic farms to Sydney. A large percentage of our salad greens and Asian vegetables come from Michael’s farm.

Mulloon Creek Natural Farms

Are home to 12,000 happy hens led by Harriet the Head Hen (see website!) Each flock of 1000 hens has 20 acres to roam and is guarded by a pair of Mareema dogs. These hens are absolutely, truly free range hens, spending all day scratching around on grass. Whenever they feel like laying an egg, sleeping or seeking shelter, they are free to go inside. The farm is owned by Tony Coote and his family who are dedicated to providing organic produce and practising sustainable farming. See http://www.mcnf.com.au/

Malfroys Gold – Australian honey

Australian Owned and operated, Malfroys Gold has been keeping bees commercially for over 35 years, endeavoring to maintain sustainable beekeeping practices. As migratory beekeepers, they move their beehives around the state, locating the best honey flow for their bees. As their honey is naturally clean, they do not overheat it in processing, it remains completely natural – straight from the hive.

Enviroganic Farm - Organic turkeys 

Organic, free range chickens and turkeys. Enviroganic Farm is owned and run by Sonya and Angus Dowling and their five children. The property, located near Young in NSW has been in their family for generations.
