Our current directors, Nicholas and Lyndy Dobree, started the business in 1986 with an initial planting of 200 grafted macadamia trees. Today we have 35 acres with over 3,000 healthy trees at various stages of production. We have also set up a fully mechanized commercial processing and packaging plant. This is now WA's only full scale macadamia processing plant, so as well as processing our own nuts, we buy and process nuts from growers throughout WA's southwest. The business is based at Baldivis, some 50 kms south of Perth on Western Australia’s sandy coastal plain.
We have been operating as a factory direct outlet since the trees have been bearing nuts. Since January 2016 our sales have been restricted to bulk retail and wholesale. A Bright FutureSince we established our processing plant in 1995, we have been promoting the industry and encouraging the planting of more macadamia orchards in Western Australia. We are always keen to purchase locally grown nuts and are still a long way from full capacity in our processing plant. With demand continuing to exceed supply internationally and an ever-growing domestic market here in Western Australia, macadamias are an exciting crop for the future. Our own production is increasing year by year.
