Mission Statement

Our Mission is to grow and harvest a top quality product for consumers, that is produced according to strict guidelines and quality assurance practices.

Quality Assurance

In December 2014, we completed our first successful audit under the Freshcare Quality Assurance Program Version 3. In 2016 we upgraded to the new Version 4. We have recently completed the transition to version 4.1.

We have in fact followed QA guidelines for many years, but had not been audited to complete the final requirement. With the introduction of harvest and packing staff to our operation, we felt it necessary to formalise our committment to the production of top quality rhubarb.

To Market

Our rhubarb is curently sold by 2 market wholesalers in Rocklea, GNL Produce and Murray Bros.

Please visit Brisbane Markets website for contact details.

We also sell our rhubarb in bulk to 2 packhouses which pack and onsell our rhubarb to the major supermarkets in Queensland and New South Wales.

Farm Gate

For many years we have sold rhubarb to anyone who has called in to the farm. Over the past number of years we have been selling our rhubarb via our self-serve roadside produce stall. Many repeat customers continually purchase the fresh rhubarb at a very reasonable price. We also sell other fruit and vegetables grown on our farm when available.

Local Food Festivals

We have supplied our rhubarb to the Hampton Food and Wine Festival for over 5 years. Our rhubarb has been featured by the Chefs who demostrated their recipes during the day. In 2015 our farm was featured in the Autumn Farm Trail and Long Lunch bus tour. In 2016, Chef's Matt Golinski and Glen Barratt featured our rhubarb, and other local produce at the Hampton Winter Harvest Long Lunch. For more details visit Hampton Festival. We have also provided rhubarb for the Felton Food Festival for several years.

Farm Expansion

We have recently expanded our operations to incorporate another property south of Blackbutt. For more information on this venture please visit our new farm page.

COVID-19 Challenge

The Growcom Eat Yourself to Health Campaign is actively encouraging Australians to eat more fruit and vegetables to become healthier and boost your immunity through better nutrition. Check out our video showing how easy it is to cook and use rhubarb every day.
