Avocado

Simpson Farms / Avocado

we’re the avocado people

To keep our avocado estate productive and healthy, our team works tirelessly developing programs that support nutrition, irrigation, plant health and tree management. We are committed to sustainable environmental management and do everything we can to ensure a reliable supply and good eating experience for all our customers – around Australia and across the world.

LET’S TALK ABOUT AVOCADOS

Plant nutrition and irrigation

Plant nutrition is critical to maintain tree health and produce high quality fruit. We closely monitor plant health and growth, and apply a scientific approach to crop harvesting, pruning, sampling, fertilisation and soil monitoring. We use leading irrigation scheduling and moisture monitoring technology to manage water demand and plant health.

Varieties

Our integrated pest management program uses complementary control measures to minimise our use of chemicals. We use biological controls (eg naturally occurring parasites, predators and pathogens of pest species) where possible. We monitor our crops regularly to determine when pests are present and only take corrective action when pests reach pre-set threshold levels.

PICKING & PACKING

Simpson Farms has stringent harvesting, handling and quality management systems to ensure that fruit quality is maintained from the field operations to the packing shed. Fruit is harvested by hand and transported carefully in picking bins to our 4000m2 packing, cold storage and ripening facility.

Processing and storage

Simpson Farms packing facility is designed to treat, grade and pack three million trays of fruit annually. We use lean manufacturing principles to maximise the efficiency and productivity of each of the packing operations. Fruit is stored in temperature-controlled rooms and processed to the highest standard for transport interstate or internationally. Fruit is available in packaging options from small net bags and trays to high volume export cartons.

Simpson Farms is one of Australia’s largest avocado growers, specialising in fresh avocado and foodservice products.

Instagram post 17866243001003846 As our 2020 Mango and Avocado season comes to an end. It's now time say thanks & goodbye to our seasonal workers. 👏👏👋👋This year through the Seasonal Worker Programme, we were able to help our neighbours from the Pacific region and Timor-Leste with work in Australia on a short-term basis.  
Richard is the elder of our Vanuatu Crew, consisting of eight employees. Richard has a family at home and is the proud father of three children. He said he was grateful to Simpson Farms to give them work all season and they will be heading home Mid September pending flights✈️✈️ . Sam also left a family at home to come work for the season and he also is the proud father of three Children. Besides being in lockdown for COVID the guys also have had to worry about a large Cyclone that hit their Islands. Richard said their country is now in rebuilding phase.  
Dale Schneider Farm Operations Manager - "Simpson Farms were very impressed at their attitude and work ethic, always happy and showed gratitude for a days work. The boys have taught us to be more appreciative of the life we have and to smile all day everyday ,it has  been wonderful to meet them and work with them".  Thanks again Richard, Sam and all of seasonal workers, safe travels. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
