Today, third-generation producers, Stephen and Nathan \u2013 sons of owners John and Louisa \u2013 run our family farm on the eastern side of Applethorpe. Our passion for growing runs deep in our hearts and we\u2019re proud of what we do\u2026<\/p>\n \n<\/div> Picked ripe and ready and delivered directly to your supermarket.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Three generations of farming history in the Stanthorpe region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Situated 930m above sea level means days are warm and nights are cool.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Substrate production results in more plants, less water and chemicals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> True to our Italian heritage, we love sharing food!
