Our Farms
Farming investment in Queensland, Victoria along with partnerships in NT , means we can supply watermelon 12-months of the year. We are focused on supplying consistent quantity with maximum freshness and flavour across multiple varieties including mini-melon and yellow flesh varieties. Growers like Mitch and Kelly Shannon (and daughter Meg) from Connargee Station, Mildura are a key component in the maintenance and development of this supply chain
Makorlu Farms and Sweet Dirt Farms, Mildura, VIC
Years of investment with growing partners in the NSW Riverina has created a very reliable, resilient, high quality supply of watermelon and pumpkin which we distribute nationally to the Australian consumer.
Growers Matt and Corina (Makorlu Farms), and Andrew Lush (Sweet Dirt Farms) of Mildura, VIC form the backbone of this supply chain in the southern growing season (January-June).
Windhum Farms, Bundaberg, QLD
Supply of Sweet potato is derived primarily from the Bundaberg Region in central Qld. Beautiful warm weather and rich volcanic soils create the perfect conditions for growing year round supply of the best Sweet Potatoes available to the Australian consumer.
Fourth Generation farmers Linda and Darren Zunker from Windhum Farms, Bundaberg form an integral part of this supply network.
Potatoes and Alliums (onions, shallots and garlic)
We have partnered with some the best potato, onion and garlic producers Australia wide to deliver a comprehensive and varied range of potatoes and onions to cater for all purposes. Producers like Zerella Fresh, Virginia SA, Yum Potatoes, Scottsdale Tas and Agrico Produce, Hillston NSW, provide Antonello Produce with the geographical diversity to supply quality, consistent product, 52 weeks of the year
Land Family Farms, Gumloo, NORTH QLD
During the winter months and early spring, pumpkins need to be sourced from northern Australia where the warm nights and days allow pumpkin to grow and reach maximum colour, sweetness and flavour. Antonello Produce has been working with Land Family Farms from Gumloo, Nth QLD for the past 5 years to develop and execute a growing program to fulfill pumpkin supply through what can often be a challenging time.
Johnathan Land, of Land Family Farms Nth QLD (pictured below) along with brother Steven, dad Laurie and their families fulfill a major part of our pumpkin supply program in the northern growing season (June-December).
Ginger
Ginger consumption in Australia continues to grow year on year. We continue to engage with new consumers looking to utilize the spicy nature of ginger.
Yellow Gully Produce, Esk QLD and Brendan and Daniella Swanson of Brenella Pty Ltd, Amamoor QLD provide Antonello Produce with a high quality, reliable ginger supply.
Paul Rennie has been farming in Hillston for over 30 years and has grown and supplied potatoes through this period to all major supermarkets and fresh markets.
With the second generation joining the family business now, Agrico Produce has grown to supply Pumpkins, Chillies and Garlic along with Potatoes.
The farm currently has 270 ha under Solid State irrigation and 300 ha under pivot irrigation with further expansion every year.
