White Oyster mushrooms coated in a rich, sticky Korean BBQ glaze that's bursting with sweet, savoury and spicy flavour. A great snack for two.

🍽️ Serves 2
⏱️ Prep time 5min + 3hrs or overnight, cook time 10min

✨What you’ll need

600g White Oyster mushrooms, torn

For the marinade:
6 tbsp gochujang
4 tbsp honey/maple syrup
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp finely grated garlic
2 tsp finely grated ginger
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp white pepper

4 skewers suitable for the bbq

🔥 How to make it:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients. Add the mushrooms and toss until well coated.

2. Marinate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavour. Reserve any leftover marinade in the bowl.

3. Arrange the mushrooms on 4 skewers. Brush with the reserved marinade as they cook.

4. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and the glaze is thick, sticky and caramelised and slightly charred, turning occasionally for even cooking.

5. Serve hot on their own or with rice and ribboned lebanese cucumbers!

What goes around, comes around. ♻️🌱

We make the compost, spread it on the paddocks, grow the hay and produce… and then it all starts again.

Today, Dad’s putting some goodness back into our hay paddocks, ready for the next season.

Sustainable farming is a long-term commitment — and one we the next generation will be grateful for. 🌱

Throwback Thursday…

Some people find a hobby that gives them a chance to recharge away from the kids… that was never Dad’s motto. 😂

First of all — he’s never had a hobby other than farming! 🤣

He was happiest with us around, taking every opportunity to show us the ropes and bring us along for the ride. Work became our quality time together — a chance to learn, strengthen our family bond and build something together.

Maybe that’s the gift of spending time with your kids doing what you love — they grow up loving it too, and choosing to spend their time doing it alongside you. ❤️🌱

Dad and his boys - still working together today (literally 😂), 20+ years later. 🥰

{Recipe}

Creamy chicken and mushroom sauce!🍄✨

Looking for an easy dinner that feels a little bit special? This one is for you!

Tender chicken, golden mushrooms, onion and garlic, all simmered together in a creamy sauce. 🤤

It’s simple, comforting and packed with plenty of mushroom goodness — and best of all, it’s all made in one pan!

Serve with mashed potato, rice, pasta or your favourite veggies and you’ve got dinner sorted. 👌

The only question is - when are you trying this one? 🤗

🍽️ Serves 4
⏱️ Prep time 5min, cook time 40min

✨What you'll need:
500g King Oysters, sliced
1 large red onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, diced
4 chicken breasts
400ml Chicken stock
200-300ml cream
Chives, diced for garnish
Olive oil for frying
Salt and pepper to taste

🔥How to make it:
1. Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan.

2. Season the chicken breasts and sear for approx. 1 minute on each side. Reduce the heat and cook for a further approx. 4 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the mushrooms, onion, garlic and chives by slicing or chopping to your desired size.

4. Add a little more oil to the pan and cook the mushrooms for approx. 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until their moisture has evaporated and they are golden brown. Remove, season with salt and set aside.

5. Reduce the heat and sauté the onion and garlic in the same pan until softened.

6. Return the mushrooms to the pan. Add the chicken stock and cream and simmer for approx. 10 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and become creamy.

7. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and simmer gently until heated through.

8. Serve with pasta, rice, mashed potato or your choice of steamed veggies. Garnish with chives

Tips:
✨Your kids aren't that keen on mushrooms? Blend the creamy sauce until smooth before returning the chicken to the pan.

✨King Oysters and Silver Oyster mushrooms are best in this dish. If you love your umami flavours - be sure to add some shiitake!

At Red Valley, we do a lot of looking forward, but sometimes it’s important to stop and appreciate just how far you've come! 🍌

This photo was taken almost 30 years ago, when we loaded our first load of bananas — unrefrigerated for part of the journey and ready for market!

It’s hard to imagine them making the nearly 2,000km journey to the Brisbane markets. We’d love to know what condition they arrived in… they probably wouldn’t meet today’s quality standards! 😂

These days, our bananas travel all across the country just with much better transport, refrigeration and handling along the way. .

Same bananas, same farm and a whole lot of change. 🍌

Some things don’t change though — the flat-top we’re loading in this photo is still being used on the farm today! 💪

Our White Oyster mushroom is one that will catch your eye. With it's delicate fan-shaped caps, it is something of beauty to look at!

They have a delicate texture and mild flavour, making them one of the most versatile gourmet mushrooms to cook with.

Simple, delicious and grown right here at Red Valley Farms. 🤍

From our farm to your kitchen — 100% Australian grown by an Australian-owned family business. 🇦🇺

Meet Hop! 👋🌱⚽

Hop comes from Vietnam and is one of those people who is always ready to give something a go! While English isn’t his first language, he works hard to improve and learn, and if he’s ever unsure about something, he’ll always make the effort to check and make sure he’s got it right.

He’s incredibly dedicated, always on time and happy to help out — no matter what time of day! 💪 He’s also keen to learn new jobs and get stuck in wherever he’s needed.

You’ll mostly find Hop stringing, spraying weeds, de-leafing or helping with irrigation.

Fun fact: Hop is a very keen soccer player and he might possibly be the fastest Red Valley team member! 🏃‍♂️💨

Thanks for all your hard work, Hop! We appreciate you! 👏

Throwback Thursday to the early Peanut growing days 🥜🌱

Peter Snr with his two young daughters on the Atherton Tablelands.

Back then, their peanut land was leased, which got the Inderbitzin family thinking about finding some good country of their own that they could actually afford!

That search led them to Lakeland in 1985…

While peanuts are no longer part of what we grow, they certainly form an important part of the Red Valley story! 🥜🌱
