About the Farms
Our properties are an 8 min drive (9km) North-West of Moree, NSW. We have 280,000 drip irrigated citrus trees, last year we harvested 5,000 tonnes of barley and this month 11,000 bales of irrigated cotton were picked off the bush.
Our citrus is harvested 9 months of the year for juicing and goes to our other business grovejuice.com.au who supplies our own brands as well as the four major supermarkets and export market in South-East Asia.
We take an active position in the industry via industry-based associations, not-for-profit work, local sponsorships and talking to our mates over a few beers at the pub. Vitonga Farms has strong water & market stability, our staff have good job security and as a result we retain great knowledge as a collective unit.
Training
We will help you with professional training to suit your needs. So, if you do have to move on one day, you’ll leave our farm more qualified than when you joined us. That said, we have many staff members that have been with us for decades.
Work. Rest. Send-it!
Your life outside of the job is important to us. Our properties boast great spots for fishing/hunting & large dams for water skiing. You will have full access to these recreational assets to let loose and enjoy yourself.
