On the Farm
MM
We are committed to utilising sustainable practices
from farm to plate!
As a 100% grower owned company, we respect the land and the environment as we want it to not only meet the needs of the present but also preserve it for future generations.
Ensuring healthy soils by using organic natural fertiliser
Investing in carbon positive farming principles
Every part of the macadamia tree and nut is either reused or recycled, with nothing going to landfill
Integrated pest management and biological pest controls
Water use efficiency
Integrated orchard management systems
In The Factory
MM
We continue to innovate and invest in our processing practices.
We keep improving our energy efficiency and recycling systems to minimise our impact on the natural environment.
LED lights to reduce energy consumption
Solar electricity system to reduce grid power – providing enough energy to run an entire factory during the day
Recycling of cardboard and scrap metal
Energy-efficient macadamia drying system – waste macadamia shell is used to fire
boilers to generate energy for drying our nut-in-shell. When installed, the system
offset our carbon emissions for the nut-in-shell drying process by 99.6%
