WA Farm Direct and N&A Group will introduce the Ondine series of flat peach and flat nectarine varieties to the Australian market this summer. These delightful flat nectarines and peaches come from the orchards of Cobram in Victoria and Perth Hills in Western Australia. Available from December to March, they offer a unique taste experience that stonefruit lovers won't want to miss.
WA Farm Direct and N&A Group are excited to grow this new snacking variety within the summer fruit category in Australia. Ondine flat nectarines and peaches are known for their unique shape and exceptional flavor. Unlike traditional round varieties, these fruits have a distinctive flat appearance, making them not only visually appealing but also incredibly easy to eat. Their juicy, sweet flesh is perfect for snacking, baking, or adding to your favorite summer salads. This offering is set to attract new customers to the category while also increasing purchase frequency and volume.
The success of these fruits is attributed to the ideal growing conditions found in Australia. Cobram's fertile soils and the temperate climate in the Perth Hills provide the perfect environment for cultivating high-quality stone fruits.
This season, the crop is set to begin in early December at both production locations, and the fruit is looking delicious. An estimated 650 tonnes of flat nectarines and peaches (Class 1 fruit) will be available for the 2024/25 season, with fruit supplied from the two production bases.
As the young orchards mature, the supply of flat nectarines and peaches remains limited, though production has tripled for the 2024-2025 season. WA Farm Direct is committed to quality and is excited to offer these fruits for export to Asia and the Middle East.
From December to March, Ondine flat nectarines and peaches will be available in Australian markets, delighting taste buds with their unique flavors and textures. They will be offered at selected locations across the country.
