Ours is a working farm of approximately 4500 macadamia trees, the majority of which were planted in 1989. The younger trees are all new Australian varieties. A lot of our farm is mechanically harvested but we still handpick the steeper slopes. At the very centre of our plantation is a regenerated rainforest, with some old-growth forest. Thousands of trees, native to the area, cover this site.

This area is the original home of the macadamia, a native Australian rainforest tree. The rich fertile volcanic soils and the warm sub-tropical climate of the Byron hinterland are the ideal conditions for growing macadamias.

We grow over five different varieties of macadamia trees. Each area of this land is planted with a specific variety depending on the north or south facing aspect of the land. Some varieties are more wind resistant than others and need protection. All thrive in this coastal climate.
