Australian Grown’s Brookfarm is a growing success 

Brookfarm is Australia’s leading producer of gourmet macadamia products. As an Australian Grown licensee and a successful exporter, Brookfarm is receiving many national and International awards, for its quality food products manufactured at St. Helena, overlooking beautiful Byron Bay in northern New South Wales. All products are made and manufactured in the Byron hinterland, using the finest Australian ingredients. Brookfarm has won more awards for their range than any other macadamia producer in the world

Brookfarm is reaping rewards for their involvement in the Australian Made, Australian Grown Campaign’s G’Day LA promotion earlier this year.

Martin Brook, joint founder of Brookfarm with wife Pam, believes strongly in the product and importance of it being Australian.

“We really wanted to create a business that showcased the very best of Australian made food products – for us it didn’t make sense just growing macadamias – It was all about what you did with these beautiful tasting, healthy nuts,” says Mr. Brook.

Brookfarm’s products enjoyed resounding success in the LA market, thanks to the promotion, which saw products promoted in Gelson’s supermarkets in Southern California.

“This is such an important initiative that the Australian Made, Australian Grown Campaign has undertaken and companies like Brookfarm benefit greatly from the use of such an important brand which has already proven to be a very positive marketing tool. We think the distinct logo immediately identifies where it was made and it is very important in the present debate on country of origin,” says Mr. Brook.

In November 2000 Pam and Martin Brook began selling their unique range at the local Bangalow Markets. Today Brookfarm employs 17 people and the business exports the award winning Muesli, First Cold Pressed Macadamia Oils and Oven Baked Macadamia Nuts to the world – countries including USA, Canada, UK, Germany, Scandinavia, Japan, Hong Kong and New Zealand. The range sells to quality food retailers, international airlines, cafes and quality hotels.

In 2007 Brookfarm won the coveted Telstra Australian Business of the Year and also the 2007 MYOB Business Award.

In 2006 Brookfarm won 7 medals at the Royal Sydney Fine Food awards and in July this year Brookfarm’s Macadamia Oil infused with Lemon Myrtle was voted by a panel of International judges to be on of the four most outstanding oils in the world. Pam and Martin were presented with the Silver Sofi TM award from NASFT (The National Association for the Speciality Food Trade) in New York.
