Our Story

Grandpa lived until 90 and was on the organic farm at the base of the Macedon ranges until the last year of his life. Grandma is 82 and still radiating with love and health. This year is their 63rd anniversary! We come from the richest family without money and we are so grateful for that.

They migrated from Lebanon many decades ago and love Australia so much that grandpa used to say, "when anyone comes to Australian and doesn't add value and respect and love our soil, go back one way!" They are big on passion and timeless principles. Like all loving grandparents, their whole life revolved around, not themselves, but giving back to family and country. That's where we got our 0% grumpy 100% happy attitude from! Being grateful and honest and only focusing on the positive is how we were brought up.

From a young age, when us kids came home from school, it wasn't about running to the TV or playing electronic games-we were exposed to very little of that and still are. It was about cooking together, smashing and pickling organic olives, or going into the garden, making sure the chickens had enough organic feed, collecting eggs and making the most awesome omelettes, watering the veggies and grabbing fresh fruits that actually had flavour - directly from the trees!

As we nurtured that beautiful organic family farm, ate far more then we worked, Grandpa would always say he wished all the earth went organic. He said in their day, "fruit had flavour and nutrition-not like many things these days, pretty on the outside but lacking goodness on the inside. And then there's all the toxic chemicals. When will people realise the cost to earth and our health is far more valuable than money and modern farming methods?”
