World Rainforest Day 2024 – The Year of Action

At Brookfarm we are passionate about rainforest and biodiversity protection. Over 35 years ago we took action to regenerate a tiny remnant of Big Scrub rainforest on the family macadamia farm. Now it is a thriving habitat for native wildlife.

We proudly support the Big Scrub Rainforest Conservancy , who are using world-leading scientific approaches to save critically endangered lowland subtropical rainforests in Australia. Their Science Saving Rainforests Program has analysed the genomes of 60 species based on DNA sequencing of over 10,000 leaf samples.

This data will inform the establishment of a new living seed bank plantation in the hinterland of Byron Bay, which aims to restore the genetic diversity needed for these key tree species to survive.

Your help is needed to fund the new plantation site and save our subtropical rainforests.

From Melbourne to Byron Bay... where Brookfarm began.

Did you know that back in the 80s co-founders Pam and Martin Brook lived in Melbourne? Pam was a dentist with her own practice in Kew, and Martin was a TV producer for Grundy’s working on ‘Prisoner’!

Planning a family holiday, they threw a dart at a map which landed in the Northern Rivers. Soon after they bought a run-down w**d infested dairy farm in the area – sight unseen!

Over subsequent years they returned at every opportunity to remove w**ds, plant 4500 Macadamia trees, regenerate a sub-tropical rainforest and eventually move their young family to Byron Bay to start Brookfarm – now run by oldest son Will (who was just 13 when the business first started!)

A lot has happened in just over 30 years!

We Need Bees

We all know that bees make honey (yum!) but did you know how important they are to our food security, biodiversity and ecosystem health?

Bees help pollinate most of the crops we eat and many that feed farm livestock. Nearly two-thirds of Australia’s agricultural production benefits from bee pollination.

It's estimated that 1 out of every 3 mouthfuls of food depends on bees!

Australia is home to around 2,000 species of native bee. On the Brook family farm, we have setup native bee hives to help with pollination of our macadamias and the biodiversity of our rainforest ecosystem.

5 WAYS TO HELP BEES THRIVE:
– Buy Australian Honey
– Plant Flowers to provide vital food sources and habitat
– Avoid using pesticide and fungicide sprays that are harmful to bees
– Make sure water is available, particularly during summer
– Setup a stingless native bee hive

At Brookfarm we only use 100% Pure, Raw Australian Honey in our crunchy Toasted Muesli and Granolas.

Our honey is sustainably sourced from bees that have been carefully tended to by expert apiarists, then gently filtered to remove any wax and flower particles.

Produced by ethical Australian beekeepers, our family-owned honey supplier blends a unique mix from hives sited in Australian bushland and National Parks including the Byron Bay region. Rich and dark with a distinct local flavour – just for us!

We take pride in being part of an industry that actively supports and preserves the authenticity of Australian honey.

We didn't let the wet weather dampen our spirits at this year's Northern Rivers Food Harvest Food Trail! With a slight venue change to the shelter of the Cape Byron Distillery balcony, overlooking the macadamia orchards on the Brook family farm.

CEO Will Brook and Co-Founders Pam and Martin Brook were on hand to chat all things regenerative farming, sustainability, biodiversity and Brookfarm. As the rain cleared, we took a stroll through the Big Scrub rainforest on the property, to see what can be achieved when nature is given space to regenerate.

Free samples were offered across our range, accompanied by a delicious morning tea from Crabbes Creek Catering & Events , ethical organic coffee and tea with Bun Coffee Head Barista Hannie.

The Harvest Food Trail celebrates locals supporting locals, showcasing the incredible food and drink producers here in the Northern Rivers.

Tasty and full of fibre, nuts can keep you full, decrease calorie absorption, and improve gut health. Research has also shown that eating a handful of nuts daily can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.

We use nuts in every single one of our products, making it easy for you to add nuts to your everyday diet! Whether it's a natural muesli, a crunchy granola, a grab and go bar or a handful of roasted macadamias – where it all started on the Brook family farm.
