Grow as Much Food as We Can

As our food becomes more industrialised in nature … and I believe inherently bland, human and environmental health is undoubtedly suffering. It strikes me, that its increasingly important for us to grow as much food as we can in our backyards, balconies, under the verandah, vertically up or down multi story dwellings, in wicker beds, […]

Summer Organic Kitchen Garden

With a few days over 40 C and many over 35 leading up to our Summer Organic Kitchen Garden Workshop series, it was a constant challenge keeping our gardens hydrated! With predictions of 40C for our first workshop, we where immensely grateful to have it plummet 15C on the day! Pheww … the joys of […]

Since our last post!

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 […]

Plastic Free July

Its difficult being carbon neutral when running a small business such as Beach Organics. But from small gestures, big things grow! We have our own organic gardens with bustling biodiversity, our compost rich soils “enrobe” carbon, we’be planted 1000’s of trees to help offset the energy required to import our cacao, cinnamon, vanilla, green coffee […]

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 […]

Wild Harvest Long Pepper

Our wild harvest long pepper is hand harvested in the highlands of Indonesia. For our customers re assurance, we ship it into Australia without fumigation or gamma irradiation treatment. We enjoy a daily mug of turmeric latte with a pinch or two of freshly ground long pepper to accelerate the uptake of curcumin. Available at […]

22 April Organic Garden Workshop

We’re pretty chuffed to say 90% + of fresh produce featuring in our kitchen at PLANT 4 BOWDEN is harvested from our own certified organic gardens. We reckon this is a pretty good effort! No tillage, annual cropping, compost teas, integrated poultry forage system, poly culture, perennial tree crops, legumes in rotation and stringent NASAA […]

Rosie’s Botanical Drawings

We thought it would be fitting to use hand made paper in our Store at PLANT 4 BOWDEN … and enlist the help of my niece, Rosie, (who has a degree in fine arts) to design these beautiful botanical drawings for our menus. They depict much of our Product range, including star anise, long pepper, […]

Our first workshop will be conducted on our NASAA certified organic, 4 hectare permaculture property near Pt Elliot SA. Our theme for the day […]

One of my Most Favourite People

ONE OF MY MOST FAVOURITE PEOPLE I first met Barry Beach in 2001. We were fellow stall holders in the ‘early days’ of the Willunga Farmers Market. 🙂 Barry tickled my fancy right from the beginning with his commitment to food sovereignty, organics, character & unbelievable energy to bring authentic food culture to our community. […]

Coffee Project

Ten or so years ago I became interested in the Australian coffee industry and its social and environmental implications. We had our Traditional Farmers network well and truly established and some of our farming friends had coffee growing within their beautiful food forest farming systems. It seemed logical to “piggy back” their organically grown green […]

Calling all organic gardeners! We’re in the process of harvesting our certified organic carrot seed … and we have bucket loads! Swing past our Store at PLANT 4 BOWDEN if you would like some. $4 will get you enough seed to keep you in carrots for the next year.

We’re running a series of fun, free, short and informative workshops every Saturday as we head into the festive season! First cab off the rank, will be a session on how to make your own RUJAK, a favourite dipping sauce of mine! Delicious with green mango, crisp apple or tossed through an Asian style salad! […]

Poultry Forage System

Our poultry forage system at work …. We’ve re-introduced our “girls” to our certified organic permaculture property near Pt Elliot SA. They’re attending to all our weeding requirements, dealing with any undesirable pests, foraging through our “spent” broad bean patch, manuring and of course providing us with beautiful saffron yoked egg as on a daily […]

Health Benefits of Turmeric

My interest in the health benefits of turmeric began decades ago when growing it on our certified organic farm near Pt Elliot. We now have one of the most interesting range of turmeric products available in Australia. We have giant turmeric – temu lewak, white turmeric – kencur, yellow turmeric, ground turmeric and are over […]

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 […]
