Margaret and Mick Jones farm 4 hectares of almonds trees on their Willunga property. In July their bee hives pollinate the spring almond blossom and produce honey.

Taronga Orchard grows three almond varieties - Johnston, Somerton, and White Brandis. The almonds are harvested in February which Margaret and Mick then sell as raw or as value-added almonds.

Taronga Orchard’s savoury almonds include roasted, naturally smoked (no additives), smoke house, garlic, seasoned, chilli, salt and vinegar, smoky bacon, hot and spicy, sea salt and soy sauce.

Their sweetened almonds are coated in vanilla, cinnamon, coffee, toffee, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, honeyed or just sugared.

New lines are continually added by Margaret as she enjoys experimenting with flavours.

Almond and apricot slices, milk rocks (like nougat) or almond pastes are just as popular as are their almonds. Almond meal and an assortment of honey are also sold at their Market stall.

Taronga Orchard’s dukkah is a spice mix ready to serve with bread and oil. They have two varieties – one with fennel and the other with chilli.

Fresh eggs are supplied by their chickens, but as Margaret says, you can’t force chooks to lay so eggs may not be available every week.

Taronga Orchard products are also available at the Adelaide Airport, Southern Vales wineries, Willunga Farmers Market, Stirling and Goolwa markets, and IGA supermarkets in the city.
