A family dream to move to the country and a passion for quality healthy food is what sparked Pam and Martin Brook to transform a run-down dairy farm in the Byron Bay hinterland into a working macadamia farm and to regenerate an ancient sub-tropical rainforest.
And it was through this time that the Brooks saw an opportunity to value-add to Australia’s indigenous nut – the macadamia. After months of product development in the family kitchen, trying to find the perfect product to create from the humble macadamia (mayonnaise and tartare sauce included!), Brookfarm’s amazing Toasted and Natural Macadamia Mueslis were born. In November 2000, Pam and Martin, with sons Will and Eddie in tow, sold their very first products at the Bangalow Markets in the Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia.
Now, more than 20 years on, the Brookfarm range has expanded significantly and our products are sold all around the world. But despite this growth, some things never change – we never compromise on quality, we always create real food using real ingredients, and mostly, we make sure it tastes amazing!
A generational family business, Brookfarm is now led by Pam and Martin’s eldest son Will, with his own children walking the macadamia orchard, just like he and his brother Eddie did, only 20 years ago.
Restoring the environment
Our family farm is situated in the beautiful hinterland overlooking Byron Bay. In 1988 when the property was purchased, it was nothing but barren land overrun with weeds. Now, it’s a completely different story and we are proud to be an example for regenerative farming across the globe.
Not only have we planted over 4,000 macadamia trees, we have also regenerated an ancient rainforest, planting over 35,000 rainforest and eucalypt trees, creating a haven for native wildlife. Our rainforest runs like a vein through the centre of our farm and is a land corridor for the Big Scrub, which was once the largest sub-tropical rainforest in Australia. Home to native insects and bees, platypus, owls, koalas, turtles, water dragons, snakes and birds, the natural balance is able to be maintained as a fully integrated farm system.
Our passion for sustainability continues in our bakehouse, which is powered by 288 solar panels. It’s in the design of our building, our suppliers, our processes, right down to the way we clean the floors. Our commitment is to preserve and protect our natural environment with conscientious and effective business practices. From less waste, to a lower carbon footprint, we are doing everything our power to protect our beautiful planet.
