Hello,

Orchard Valley packets and tubs of nuts and seeds on a kitchen bench.
Packed fresh in Coburg North

Thanks for taking a look. We're Orchard Valley, a family business that packs nuts, dried fruit, chocolate and pantry lines for independent grocers, fruit shops and supermarkets.

My father, Frank, started selling nuts in 1975, and our family has run the business ever since. What follows is the short version of why stores stay with us: where our kernels come from, how we pack them, and how easy we make ordering and delivery. Have a scroll, then give me a call.

Where it starts

From the orchardto your shelf.

That's our van in the almond rows at Belehris Estates, Cooltong SA, in full blossom. We value long-standing, strong relationships with our farmers. We buy the top grades from growers we know by name and go and see them, because that's how the best product ends up on your customers' tables.

Our bread and butter

Four nutswe're known for.

Almonds, walnuts, cashews and macadamias are our bread and butter: the heart of our range and the lines we're fussiest about. Here's where each one comes from and what makes ours different.

Orchard Valley Australian Almond Kernels 375g on a timber board with loose almonds.

Almonds

Unpasteurised South Australian almonds, from one family orchard.

Our almond kernels come from Belehris Estates at Cooltong, in the Riverland: a family orchard growing Non-Pareil almonds since 1997. They're never pasteurised, never fumigated and grown pesticide-free, so they keep the clean snap and sweetness of a fresh almond.

UnpasteurisedPasteurising means steaming or gassing nuts after harvest to kill bacteria. Ours skip that step: they're grown, hulled and shelled, so you get a raw almond as it came off the tree.

Pesticide-freeNo pesticide sprays are used on the trees, so there's no spray residue on the nuts.

Walnuts

King Valley walnuts, grown and cracked at Myrrhee in north-east Victoria.

Our premium Victorian walnuts come from King Valley Walnuts, a family farm that has grown walnuts at Myrrhee since 1995 and cracks them on the farm. Light, sweet kernels with fine skins, from a grower whose kernels have taken gold at the Australian Fine Food Awards.

Orchard Valley Cashew Kernels 250g on a timber board with loose cashews.

Cashews

Only the big grade: W240 whole kernels.

Cashews are graded by how many whole kernels make up a pound. W320 is the grade most commonly traded; we buy W240, the large wholes. Bigger, unbroken kernels fill a pack generously and roast evenly in small batches.
