Our story

It started with three brothers and one packing machine.

The family arrived from southern Italy in the 1950s and grew vegetables in the Sunraysia region. In 1991 brothers Joe, Tony and Mario opened a small citrus packing shed, driving the fruit to the Melbourne Market themselves. Today the third generation runs farming, export and operations — and the fourth is growing up in the shed.
