Our Produce

Carrots

One of the worlds most favourite root vegetables. Which is no surprise considering they are packed with nutrients such as fiber, potassium, vitamin C, manganese, vitamin A, and certain B vitamins. These are essential for growth, bones development, sight, tissues maintenance, and reproduction. At wombat Forest we grow varieties of orange, yellow and purple carrots to create a beautiful diversity.

we are fortunate to be able to grow in the combination of perfect climate and soils to produce carrots that are renowned for their unique flavour, sweetness and quality.

Potatoes

A versatile crop with a feeling of home comforts. The potato is a staple vegetable across the world. They provide a healthy intake of carbohydrates whilst also offering up a good source of potassium, vitamin C, Fibre and protein. We grow several varieties of potato including our much sought after Dutch Cream and Sebago.

Strawberries

The delectable “sprinkles” on top of our produce. Here at Wombat Forest, the variety we produce gives an incredibly sweet, firm bite. Strawberries are packed full of antioxidants, vitamin C, Manganese and folate. With their health benefits and sweet juicy taste, its no wonder they’re a firm customer favourite.

Hay

We don’t just stop the buck at providing humans with natural wholesome food products, we want your livestock to reap the organic benefits too. We grow premium quality organic hay with a mixture of different pastures such as Lucerne, Chicory, Clover, Rye grass, Oats and Vetch.

Our Packaging

The land and environment we grow on is so important to us, we aim to pack our products into packaging that is as environmentally friendly as can be. In our industry there is a delicate balance between using the least amount of packaging possible and meeting food safety laws.

Upon extensive research we found that any biodegradable “pulp” made punnets suitable for strawberries are not made in Australia. This means a huge carbon footprint through transport, and a high impact on the world around us.

When conducting market research with real customers, the general opinion was that customers were uncomfortable with manufactured plastics (understandably) but liked the ability to be able to clearly see the strawberries and assess their quality.

Taking from this, we have decided upon punnets made from 70% recycled plastics, are 100% recyclable, and have a minimal carbon footprint. This aligns with our environmental values as much as can be and gives our customers the ability to clearly see the strawberries and their amazing quality.

We are, however, of the mind set that perfection is something to always seek. This means that we are constantly researching for the next great technology to help save our planet and will always welcome feedback and new initiatives to improve our packaging further.
