Bordered to the north by the highly biodiverse Mt Lindesay National Park and on the south by the Denmark River, Mt Lindesay farm features undulating gully dams, pristine and regrowth forests, and granite outcrops. Transformed from a neglected property, the farm is now a veritable arboretum with a diversity of natural, timber, and agronomically productive trees. Through controlling salinity, weeds, and conserving riparian vegetation, Mt Lindesay’s prime lamb and specialty horticultural produce aims to balance productivity and environmental sustainability to produce healthier foods. Mt Lindesay’s participation in the CRC will focus on healthy bioactive components of selected artichoke varieties, and the agronomic and post-harvest processing technologies for foods that maintain the highest nutritional, gastronomic, and functional food values.
