One of Eden's earliest childhood memories is of him running through the orange orchard that we still pick from today, spending hours chasing the irrigation sprinklers and squealing with laughter when he was hit with water. Growing up on a farm, it's a childhood unlike any other - filled with mud pies, tractor rides and a whole lot of dirt. It's a childhood defined by memories and smells, and it instilled Eden with a love and respect for the land that few could understand; a connection with nature that really is incomparable. 

​

In 2012, Eden bought the farm we call home today to give his parents a chance to retire. With nothing but a mature orange orchard in the ground, Eden began his journey as a fourth generation farmer. With no avenues to sell his produce, he started small - planting an acre of zucchini's and focusing solely on improving the health of the soil after years of neglect. 

​

Slowly but surely, Eden and his wife, Louise, expanded the market garden to near capacity and began selling directly through local farmer markets, deciding to cut out the middle man entirely. After three years of farming with nature and staying true to the farming methods passed down from Eden's Nonna, obtaining our organic certification was a natural next step. 

 

Over the last nine years we've achieved more than we could have ever hoped for on the farm but our greatest achievement to date is welcoming our son, Jude, in to the world in 2020. We can already tell he's going to be daddy's little shadow, putting on his gumboots in the morning and wanting to go wherever Eden goes. Everything we've worked so hard for now makes sense, and there is going to be nothing more special than watching Jude grow up on the same farm where his dad did, running through that same orchard and hearing his squeals of laughter as the sun sets over our special place.
