COMMENT: With the growing demand for organic foods in Australia and around the world this Pecan Nut Farm is about to go into a new phase in marketing and sales. Sales are expected to reach new heights in coming years through the maturity of its already established 1500 trees, the planting of 140 new trees and the packaging and selling of its own produce on and off farm. Riverside is an exceptional property with a current unique market that is established and has many future financial options. Properties like this one are rare and valuable and won’t stay on the market for long.

The majority of North Coast of NSW and SEQ Pecan growers are establishing their own co-op, which will also enhance sales in coming years, especially for Certified Organic Pecans.
