Minter Magic

Minter Magic The Minter Family has been growing Almonds, Asparagus & Citrus for a number of generations. Our fields got as big as 300 acres! Only 30 acres remain

Our main crops are now Almonds and Citrus

We have been growing asparagus in Sunraysia since 1927. The Minter family has been growing asparagus in Sunraysia for 5 generations, with Frank Minter, great-great-grandfather to Garry Minter (the latest generation), growing Connivers Colossal variety in 1927. In 1948 Bob Chaffey, son of Sunraysia’s founder gave our family the first Mary Washington 500 va

riety asparagus seeds. These proved to be very successful, resulting in high yields and suited to the Sunraysia climate. In 1968, 15 acres of a Minter variety (72 and 66) were planted at Iraak. 1972 saw the first export shipments to the UK, followed by the first four shipments to Japan in 1975, which was the start of our export shipping. Then in 1985 the Department of Agriculture, Victoria, introduced Geoff Minter to the variety known as ‘Ida Lea’ which is now planted extensively throughout Sunraysia
The longevity, consistency and loyalty to horticultural development in Sunraysia continues with three generations of Family currently involved in Minter Magic production.
