We grow leafy green vegetables all year round, however, our peak season for harvesting and packing is Autumn – Winter. Approximately March through to October each year. Most of our harvest and packing jobs are available during this time.
We have met some wonderful people from Australia as well as many different parts of the world over our years in farming.
