About the Farms
Our properties are an 8 min drive (9km) North-West of Moree, NSW.
We have 280,000 drip irrigated citrus trees, last year we harvested 5,000 tonnes of barley and 11,000 bales of irrigated cotton.
Our citrus is harvested 9 months of the year for juicing and transported to our other business grovejuice.com.au for supply to four major supermarkets and export markets in South-East Asia.
Grove has been crafting juice for over 50 years. We plant, grow, harvest, select and squeeze every last drop from our orange groves in Moree.
We take an active position in the industry via industry-based associations, not-for-profit work and local sponsorships.
