Native ingredients
Our native ingredients
Our native ingredients come from the shelter belts and buffer zones that thread through the farm — established plantings of lemon myrtle, lemon aspen, and riberry that have earned their place both as windbreaks on an otherwise open upland floodplain and as reliable sources of some of the most distinctive fresh culinary ingredients available direct anywhere in Australia.
This season
With a citrus intensity that outstrips lemon itself, fresh lemon myrtle leaves bring a clean, eucalyptus-edged brightness to everything from marinades and butter sauces to desserts and house-made beverages. Unlike dried product, fresh leaves deliver volatile oils at full potency — a material difference that adventurous chefs and food-curious home cooks will notice immediately. Harvested and dispatched to order, supplying restaurants, providores, and home kitchens direct.
The most intensely anise-flavoured plant in the Australian flora, fresh aniseed myrtle leaves bring a clean, sweet liquorice note — more refined than star anise, more complex than tarragon — that works with equal confidence in savoury and sweet applications. Fresh leaves deliver the essential oils at full strength, opening up uses in stocks, butter sauces, cured fish, panna cotta, and native-forward cocktails that dried product can only approximate. Harvested and dispatched to order, supplied direct to restaurants, providores, and curious home cooks.
Small, jewel-bright, and clove-spiced with a tart cranberry finish, fresh riberry is one of the most culinarily versatile native Australian fruits — equally at home in game glazes, dessert sauces, ferments, and cocktails. Harvested from established shelter belt plantings and dispatched to order, our fruit arrives with the vibrancy and intensity that only fresh, direct-supply product can deliver. Supplied to restaurants, providores, and home cooks seeking genuine Australian native ingredients with full provenance.

One of Australia's most distinctive native ingredients, fresh lemon aspen offers a sharp, grapefruit-citrus tang with a uniquely tropical edge that dried or preserved product simply cannot replicate. Small-batch harvested and available fresh, it suits everything from fine dining ceviche and vinaigrettes to cocktail garnishes and native-forward dessert menus. Supplied direct to chefs, providores, and home cooks seeking genuine provenance and ingredients unavailable through conventional channels.
