The farm is 61ha in extent and was previously operated as a dairy farm.
Approximately 7 years ago, 25ha of Macadamia’s were planted with ridges and micro-irrigation in place.
A further 15ha of Avo's were planted a few years later, around 2022, and these were also ridged with micro-irrigation.
A further 8 ha of farmland remains to be developed with 4ha’s of this having been already ridged and micro irrigation installed but no trees planted.
The farm has a total of 7349 Macadamia trees, this is made up of the following varieties: Beaumont, A4, 788 and Intel-Nelmak2. The Avo trees are all the Hass variety and selected from the export market, 6300 Avocado trees in all were planted.
The farm is known to produce a high-quality macadamia nut, which is desirable for export. The macadamias are just starting to come into production and the farm had a crop earlier in 2024 and as the trees mature, the crop volumes will grow significantly.
