Macadamia nuts are Australia’s most successful commercialised native food. Australian grown nuts are exported across the world and macadamia orchards have been established on all subtropical continents. The same species of tree that produce nuts worldwide can still be found growing wild in south-east Queensland and north-east New South Wales. The nuts are nutritious and delicious. Australians should eat more of them!
The Ecodamia Difference
For the Environment
As of June 2026, Ecodamia products are certified organic (Southern Cross Certified - Certificate Number 25085). This reflects the fact that no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers are used in the macadamia production. It also reflects our strong focus on soil health, which is achieved through practices including:
maintaining abundant and diverse ground cover throughout the orchard
minimising tillage and other forms of soil disturbance
utilising mowing instead of herbicide application to manage ground-cover
using only organic fertilisers and mulches to supplement crop nutrition
These practices allow life in the soil to flourish. But at Ecodamia, life is fostered above the ground as well. The orchard provides habitat to Australian native wildlife of all types – marsupials, bats, birds, frogs, reptiles and insects to name a few. In fact, beyond just living in the orchard, many of these species are relied upon to assist with production of the macadamias, undertaking roles such as pollination and predation of “pest” species. The benefits of having wildlife in the orchard are too great to risk harming them by applying chemical inputs.
For the Consumer
The other beneficiary of certified organic macadamias is you, the consumer. You can now enjoy these delicious nuts the way nature intended, free from any chemical residues. In doing so you will experience a range of nutritional benefits including monounsaturated fats, dietary fibre, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Ecodamia nuts are cracked, sorted, flavoured and dried in our purpose built, on-farm processing facility, which is used exclusively for macadamia processing. Flavourings are simple and natural. The nuts are cracked fresh and packaged fresh in a way that keeps them fresh. Many consumers comment that Ecodamia macadamias are the best they’ve ever tasted.
