Our Operations

Riverland Grown only source our vegetable seeds from reliable suppliers who uphold stringent biosecurity guidelines. Our seed varieties are carefully selected according to their disease resistance, drought tolerance, and germination rate.
Our corn is grown on a rotation across 10 different irrigated sites on our farm totalling approximately 8000 acres. With only 400 of these acres currently being irrigated with both permanent overhead and pivot irrigation, we have plenty of land left to develop. We rotate our sweetcorn crops with cauliflowers, grains and legumes to keep the soil healthy.
We machine harvest, hand select and pack.
