Hi! We grow delicious organic fruit with love on Djaara Country.
We are The Orchard Keepers; Katie, Hugh, and a team of trusty volunteers, employees, family, and friends of the farm.
The orchard is home to almost 4000 trees and over 120 varieties of stone and pome fruit including cherries, apricots, plums, apples and pears. We lost most of our peach and nectarine trees due to recent wet weather, but have minimal quantities of some varieties.
We see ourselves as the custodians of the orchard and are in a process of long learning about Country and place, our communities, and the orchard itself.
We keep principles of food sovereignty, food democracy, and regenerative farming close to our hearts. We believe everyone should have access to good healthy food, and we are excited to put that belief into practice.
We aim to be transparent in all that we do, in growing beautiful, healthy food, connecting as closely as possible with the people who buy our fruit all the while looking after each other and this special place.
