Moondarra Blueberries are committed to the principles of organic agriculture by fully utilising organic growing methods. Our farming processes increase levels of organic matter in the soil and minimise energy usage and waste, which all have a positive effect in reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
We are continually looking at ways to improve our production systems to protect and improve biodiversity and ensure sustainability on our farm.
Our aim is to produce the highest quality berries possible. Selling into the wholesale markets in Melbourne, direct to retail stores and to various farmers’ markets around Melbourne, all berries are hand-picked and graded to ensure they are the absolute best.
