Travel – Beach Organics

Variety is the Spice of Life here at Beach Organics

Variety is the spice of life … an apt metaphor for our endeavors at Beach Organics. Ten years in the making, the Beach Organics Coffee Project is now capable of producing delicious organically grown coffee, paying farmers approximately six times more than the current fair trade price. We vacuum pack our precious green bean stock […]

Phew, a lot has happened at Beach Organics since our last post! We’re happy to say our latest harvest of organic coffee beans from Indonesia have arrived safely. We vacuum pack all our green beans at source and carefully navigate them through Australian quarantine without the usual pesticide fumigation that most coffees in Australia are […]

Turmeric Turmeric Turmeric

My interest in turmeric began when I consumed a tonic called Jamu, on a surfing trip to Indonesia many decades ago. Intrigued by its many health benefits & a deep curiosity, led to the experimentation in growing different varieties on our 4 hectare certified organic permaculture farm near Pt Elliot SA. A large hothouse followed […]

Beach Organics Tempeh

Since establishing our certified organic permaculture farm in the early 80’s, I’ve based my food intake predominantly around a “plant” based diet! We’re blessed, our gardens are designed to produce up to 50 different herbs, fruits, nuts and vegetables every day of the year! During my first surf adventures to Indonesia in the late 70’s, […]

Small Scale Farming Systems

At Beach Organics we believe small scale farming systems are far more productive and ecologically sustainable than large industrialised systems. That’s why in the early 80’s, I decided to take action and establish our own NASAA certified organic permaculture property near the beautiful coastal town of Pt Elliot. 35 years later … our small farm […]

Direct Trade Model

Over the years, when travelling to Morocco, I am always amused by this intriguing, but relatively common sight. Not only do these hardy Argan trees provide us with a valuable bounty of kernels to produce our organic, pure, cold pressed Argan oil, when the weather turns hot & dry, they provide a valuable forage for […]

One of the wonderful aspects of running Beach Organics is travelling to exotic locations and supporting the efforts of our unique Growers Network. Here’s a pic of our organic vanilla beans – one before fermentation, the other post fermentation, aromatic and full of flavour!

In search of the perfect vanilla bean

In search of the perfect vanilla bean … Travelling to exotic locations can be tough … and joyous at times! I’ve had dengue fever, malaria, food poisoning, bouts in not so hygienic Asian and African hospitals, bone infections, reasonably traumatic injuries & met an amazing collection of people, farmers and produces over the last three […]

Late 2016 we had the privilege of being escorted around some superbly managed Rain Forest Alliance accredited tea estates in Darjeeling and Assam in Northern India. We’re delighted to offer our final selection of these teas to our customers at PLANT 4 BOWDEN and the MARKET SHED ON HOLLAND ST!

Travel the Tropics

Whenever I travel to the tropics I always enjoy the many unique flavours on offer! Tamarind, an unassuming seed pod contains a pulp with many reputed health benefits and a delicious sweet / sour flavour, immediately attracted my attention! Used in the tropics to encourage digestive health, reduce blood pressure, rich in vitamin C, iron, […]
