We have 150 acres of shallots in our farm and the rich green colour and amazing aroma is only beaten by the delicious flavour of our shallots.
Currently we supply over 6 million bunches a year to companies including processors and supermarkets.
Thanks to our amazing location with respect to the richness of our soil and amazing climate we can grow this crop throughout the entire year.
We employ over 50 staff to pick and another 15 workers to process and pack. These numbers increase during our peak harvest seasons.Our packing facility is 1400 square metres with room for over 160 pallets of cold room storage.
While our staff come from a variety of countries they all have one thing in common, a desire to ensure the product reaches our customers in the best possible condition.
