This is the last shipment for 2024

We have had a huge season dispite  challenges from the ever changing weather

We had the lowest rainfall  for 5 years (700mm compared to > 2000mm for   20223 2022)

We have almost continuous rain for the picking season that restricted picking .

In 2023 we removed over 3,000 non productive or unsuitable varieties and replanted with more suitable varieties.

These included more reds and emerald greens.

Shelf life trials  confirmed that cirtain varieties were more suitable and these were planted out.

It was confirmed that our post-harvest proceedures will deliver up to one month at 5 to 8C (normal fridge vege box)

However the best storage was dry, cool and in an open  (or holes for air) container . Do not use a sealed plastic bag or plastic container.

This will establish Fingerlimes fresh as one of the larger pruducers of fingerlimes in Australia.

Thank you to all of those who supported us this season .

Next season will be even bigger with new develpements in long shelf life bead/pearll products stabel at 8C as well as a special blast frozen bead/pearl product that retains cripness when thawed.

Welcome back top an interesting 2024

This year we have some interesting new varieties in green - A bright flourescent emerald green.

We will also be releasing selected bead extracts as frozen  and 5C stablised.

You will see themon the shoppping cart when available.

Enjoy.

What a great start - No FLOODS!!!

Lots of fruit  and  Backpackers are back in Byron . - Life is good.

The last finger limes have been picked and we start maintenance - pruning and fertilize.

For those who purchases finger limes from us Thank you.

It was a difficult year with continuous rain( we cannot pick in rain) floods , and transport unavailable. Staff shortages added to the stress.

A small number of customer complained about delivery delays and were some what painful.

Many accepted that these were difficult times and that Australia Post found it very difficult to deliver on time and actually failed to deliver on   a significant number of orders that required re-shipping.

WE are trialling some new varieties  and will have a product release early in the next year.

Thanks again to every one who purchased and I trust the taste experience was rewarding.

We have ended the 2021 season for Finger Limes.

No further fresh  finger limes will be picked/delivered this year - We do not sell frozen whole fruit.

The next season starts in January 2022.

Thank you to all those customers who supported us!!

Next year we will have new products that include a spice powder of finger limes and and also a retail package of finger lime pearls.

Loyal customers - Thank you!!

Already we are being slammed with orders before Xmas.  Thank you!!

However the last orders can only be taken up to Sunday 20/12/2020.  Picking  and shipping will begin again on January 4 2021.

This allows chance of getting the Express delivery to you before Xmas.

The year of Covid stopped exports howver it did give us an opportunity to develop dried finger limes processes.

A large 500kg dehydrator has been built and samples will be sent in the new year to all previous customers.

This product will be great as a sprinkle , in fish batters and many more inspirational delights!

This year also allowed us to install over 200,000L of rainwater catchment from our packing sheds and combined with 3 phase solar will allow  significant contribution to the environment.

New varieties have been planted and many more in development.

It will be an exciting 2021!!

After a fantastic year of growing and supplying finger limes to the world and Australia Fingerlimes Fresh has finished the harvest and is now pruning and maintaining the orchard in preparation for an expected huge 2020 year.
Exports included France , Netherlands , Japan and China.

Fresh fruit was also supplied to the Melbourne and Brisbane markets as well as direct retail to Australia via our eCommerce supply.

Australia post were a huge disappointment for retail with many orders taking over 5 days (Eastern Seaboard, some more than 10 days. Some were never delivered. However the majority were delivered on time and the fruit in great condition!.
We are investigating alternatives.

On a more positive note, we have planted another 4,000 trees of selected varieties that will deliver even more awesome varieties in future.
