Having studied Naturopathy, Kirsten was well aware of the benefits derived from eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and free from chemicals. When her husband Adrian fell ill early in their relationship, the couple made their own personal shift towards a diet more focused on fresh foods produced using organic and biodynamic methods. They saw an opportunity to help improve the health of others as well, by growing and sourcing organic produce and making it easily available to people in the Geelong region.

Kirsten and Adrian started small, with a letter drop in their local community advertising a weekly service delivering boxes of mixed vegetables organically grown on their farm. The initial response saw 20 customers taking up their offer, and demand has grown strongly into a customer base that now sees over 200 boxes per week being delivered to customers from Lorne to the Bellarine Peninsula, and north into the Golden Plains district. Additionally, up to 100t of potato, onion, cauliflower and brassicas are sold through a distributor at the Epping Markets.
