04 — The Nockburra Difference

From one Mother Tree to Australia's extraordinary organic mulberry grove

Nockburra Creek Farm began with one old mulberry tree on the property. From that Mother Tree, Peter Szabo propagated the grove by hand — creating a rare certified organic Australian mulberry supply with a lineage most ingredients can never claim.

"Every order carries a lineage — not just a supply chain."

01

One old Mother Tree

Remembered for children climbing its branches and deep dark fruit staining hands and clothes, season after season.

02

Hand-propagated grove

Every tree across the certified organic grove traces back to that original tree, propagated by hand on the property.

03

Certified organic Riverland supply

Southern Cross Certified lists Nockburra as certified organic.

04

Commercial formats for manufacturers

Frozen fruit, puree, developing juice and mulberry leaf tea for premium food, drink and wellness brands.

05 — Provenance & Supply
