Entrepreneurial farmers have always appreciated the importance of diversification. On a farm north of Loxton, two families have helped pioneer an industry where the demand for their product is insatiable.
The Wilson family have been growing Pomegranates in the Riverland since the early 1990's. In the last four years, in partnership with friends Peter and Jolanda, what started out as an interest is now a fully-fledged commercial operation with over 18,200 trees planted across two ten Hectare blocks.
With best practices ranging from trellising, irrigation, fertilisation, pruning, harvesting and disease management the property has been established and managed with a passion for quality.
The escalating demand for Pomegranates in the Australian market has been driven by our growing multicultural demographic along with increasing consumer awareness of the fruits many health benefits. The Pomegranates unique flavour profile also sees them being used in a diverse range of culinary applications including juices, sauces, salads and desserts.
With this orchard approaching full production and with established routes to market this property is a rare and unique opportunity to either broaden your agricultural interest or start a new project.
