Organic Production
We aim to be the best grower of healthy, good quality produce, produced in an ecologically responsible way. To produce the highest quality produce we rely upon the best farming practices that work with natural cycles, rather than resorting to intervention from chemical inputs. Our organic farms are ACO accredited. Instead of artificial fertilisers we rely on composts to stabilise soils and to provide essential nutrients; instead of herbicides we make use of timely cultivations and ecological interactions between plants to maintain weeds at tolerable levels; instead of pesticides we use an integrated pest management system to control the numbers of unwanted destructive pests. Coolibah Herbs believes that ecologically responsible farming practices and the production of healthy organic vegetables is the way of the future in horticulture. Consumers have the right to be provided with produce that is healthy, tastes real and has no detrimental effect on the environment.
Organic Evolution
From our humble beginnings in the early 2000’s, Coolibah Herbs pioneered organic growing when sustainable agriculture was virtually unknown. Initially, we started with traditional methods like companion planting and manual weed control, gradually evolving our practices to include more sophisticated ecological techniques. We implemented comprehensive soil regeneration strategies, incorporating crop rotation and green manure practices to revitalise the land. We developed advanced natural pest management systems using indigenous predator insects and botanical deterrents. Today, we continue to innovate with precision microclimate farming, drone-assisted crop management, and comprehensive biodiversity preservation protocols. We’ve transformed from early organic experimenters to leading sustainable agricultural innovators.
