A Day at Peter Harper's Organic fruit farm

A mainstay of Belmondos for over 10 years:

For over a decade, Peter's farm has been a steadfast provider to Belmondos, offering a consistent supply of citrus, stone fruits, and the occasional feijoa. If you've ever indulged in the goodness of these fruits from Belmondos in the past ten years, chances are they were grown on  Peter's farm.

Peter's unwavering commitment to organic practices and his direct supply chain reflects in the quality and freshness of his produce. His farm represents a beacon of authenticity and reliability, offering customers at Belmondos an unadulterated taste of nature's bounty straight from the Queensland soil.

Qld, low chill stone fruit are naturally smaller:

During our visit, Peter shared a fascinating insight into his fruits' unique size and flavour. He explained how the warm, sunny Queensland climate naturally influences the fruits, keeping them smaller but bursting with sweetness and juiciness. This make them an ideal for kids' lunch boxes, untouched by any artificial sizing methods often used in conventional fruit production.

Keeping out pests with out the use of pesticides:  
What's truly remarkable about Peter's approach is his commitment to organic practices without the use of pesticides. Instead, he employs exclusion netting to shield his crops and employs a team of diligent ducks to handle the pest control. It's a charming example of nature's harmony at work, ensuring the fruits grow naturally and organically.

No cold storage necessary :
The freshness of Peter's fruits is unmatched. Rejecting the norm of cold storage, Peter prefers a more direct approach. At the crack of dawn, his vibrant produce is handpicked and promptly dispatched to Belmondos on the same day, preserving its natural essence and flavours.

Peach and tomato salad with whipped goats cheese :

To celebrate Peter's exquisite peaches, we crafted a delightful Peach and Tomato Salad with Whipped Goat's Cheese. Combining the sweetness of his peaches with the tangy burst of ripe tomatoes, this salad embodied freshness. The velvety whipped goat's cheese added a creamy texture, perfectly complementing the juicy fruit.
