A Gardening Expo for young and old- desert lime trees a hit!
It was great to meet so many people at the expo and offer tastings of our products. Lots of you bought the desert lime seedlings which we had for sale - in fact we sold out on the second day! We enjoyed chatting with you about the products that are all made from desert limes we have harvested, and giving gardening tips to those who now have now a little desert lime tree of their own
 .
There was lots to learn, see & buy at the Expo this year - see you there next year!

Channel Nine's Saturday Afternoon Show
Andrew Mirosch joined Channel Nine Queensland in January 2005 and is the resident Chef on the new lifestyle program Saturday Afternoon. We were delighted that Andrew visited the Australian Desert Limes plantation to see the harvesting in mid-November 2006. His culinary skills are legendary in his home town of Brisbane. He designed a dish using the limes and showed this on the segment "tastes of Queensland" Saturday Afternoon Show.
Andrew created a scrumptous desert lime and ginger ricotta cheesecake it was printed in the
QWeekend Courier Mail Jan 20-21, 2007. CREATE IT AT HOME by viewing his recipe.
Slow Food news for Australian Desert Limes!
See ADL featured in the Slow Food "Snail Pace" June 2005 magazine, to read click here.
Jock and Mina Douglas flew to Turin for the 5 day Terra Madre event in October - sponsored by Slow Food Australia. "The experience was very valuable for us. We made lots of new friends and established many contacts. There was much to learn there from farmers around the world and from Australia. There was much to learn also from the displays of food products and the people who produced them. Both the farming/ horticultural part of our business and our value-adding production will benefit from new knowledge we have gained. We are very appreciative of the support provided by Slow Food Queensland and the Slow Food movement in Italy that enabled us to attend."
