about us

Trading as the Blue Cherry Company, the business produced its first export quality cherries in December 2004 and aims to set new industry benchmarks by producing big, sweet, delicious cherries for the Australian domestic and export markets.

Five hectares of cherries have so far been planted - approximately 8100 trees. The aim is to develop just under 10 hectares of orchard producing quality cherries between early/mid December and mid January. The balance of the land is stringy bark forest that is being managed and revegetated and which is highly valued due to its proximity to reserves and parks where native flora and fauna is protected.

As well as a commitment to big, sweet, delicious cherries, the Blue Cherry Company aims to ensure that the entire property is economically and environmentally sustainable. Water for the orchard is rainfall run off from the property which is collected and stored on site.

A permanent bird-proof structure covers the productive orchard. Without this protection, it would be difficult to produce a viable crop as birds eat both the buds and ripe cherries.
