Preserving Natures Goodness

Cultivating Nature's Best

Our story begins in the vast countryside of remote Cape York, where pristine landscapes surrounded by the Great Dividing Range, inspires our every step. Our farm “Askatasuna” was purchased in 2000 and since then we have protected the land, adhering to organic principles that respect the earth, its ecosystems, and the health of our customers. Our commitment to sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship is the foundation of every decision we make. We can guarantee our premium certified organic fruits are 100% natural, grown and produced in Lakeland by us with the health of our planet and our customers our priority.

The Art of Organic Farming

Walking through our crops, you’ll discover how nature intended our organic produce to grow – from juicy, sun-kissed passionfruit to fragrant limes, delicious papaya and sweet tasty bananas. Jon cultivates each crop with care and consideration to the natural flora and fauna, and without the use of harmful chemicals or synthetic fertilizers. Our first priority is to work with nature to produce the food we eat and this is reflected in our commitment to responsible farming practices that protect our planet.

Preserving Nature's Goodness

But our journey doesn’t end at the harvest. It’s in the small kitchen of our farmhouse that the magic truly begins.  Maria has perfected the art of creating organic preserves, a tradition handed down from her mother, that turns the unmarketable produce into a premium organic delight. Whether it’s the sweet tang of our papaya passionfruit jam or the robust flavor of our papaya chutney, every jar tells a story of tradition and dedication to healthy eating and protecting our environment.

A Promise of Health and Sustainability

We truly care about your health, just as we do about the environment. Our commitment to reducing food waste and producing certified organic, chemical-free preserves ensures that the wholesome flavours you savour on your table are as good for you as they are for the earth. We’re here to provide a healthier alternative that doesn’t compromise on taste. Our certified organic products are a premium product produced with sustainable, recyclable packaging, protecting the environment every step of the way from our farm to your table. Here are some interesting facts:
