🚜 🌿 Happy World Agritourism Day from Fruit Forest Farm! 🌿🚜

Growing premium tropical and exotic fruit is our core business, but agritourism has given us the opportunity to share our farm life and cornucopia of exotic fruits with visitors from across Australia and around the world. 🌏

As a small but mighty family-run farm, we do our best to “fit it all in” — from harvesting fruit to hosting farm tours for groups big and small. Along the way, we’ve met incredible people and welcomed celebrity chefs and media through the gates.

A special highlight recently has been regular tours with high school students visiting FNQ from Melbourne as part of their curriculum. Seeing young people genuinely interested in farming, tropical fruit, and where their food comes from is something we’re really proud of.

Their feedback reminds us how important it is to keep sharing knowledge and real farming experiences with the next generation. 🌱

Thank you to everyone who has visited, supported, shared our story, and helped make agritourism such a rewarding part of what we do.

Here’s to farming, learning, connecting, and celebrating the beauty of regional Australia! ☀️🚜🌴

We've had a German wildlife documentary crew filming our resident cassowaries on the farm. They captured lots of amazing footage, including two females in a tustle over territory. The crew's experience was as wild as the animals they encountered and rainforest jungle they ventured through - reaching tree top heights when their drone ended up in the fork of a tree, and Waz had to shoot it down in the rain, without damaging it. They accomplished the mission and leave knowing there's never a dull day in the Wet Tropics!

The "tree of life" is producing a bountiful crop for us this summer. Versatile and nutritious, breadfruit is a staple in the Pacific Islands. Picked at the perfect maturity, we cook with it when it's green - slice off the skin, remove the small core inside and then chop up like you would any root vegetable. Makes amazing chips 🍟 bakes and is great boiled and then mixed with coconut milk and added to curries. Available now at Brisbane Breadfruit online at https://www.favu.com.au

Is this an Aussie jackfruit record? 🇦🇺

Our neighbours Peter and Bob Brighton have beaten their previous heaviest jackfruit record of 44kgs with this beauty, weighing just over 52kgs. 💪🏼

Grown organically by neglect in the lush rainforest lined orchards at East Feluga, this mammoth fruit is certainly a massive flex for the world's biggest tree fruit.
