KAKADU PLUM (GABINY) FRUIT 

Our harvesting season begins in January 2021

for our specialised wild harvested native fruit - Kakadu Plum

( also known as Gabiny, in the Djugun language)

 

Please email your orders ( hello@mayiharvests.com.au) to secure a spot for the 2021 harvest as we only take a limited number of customers to ensure orders can be met.

 

For all our wonderful customers please be aware that all our fruit is

WILD HARVESTED

which means we collect all our produce by hand. 

We are NOT a commercial farm/orchard that grow our fruit in large quantities. Our method is taken from our ancestors where we visit many different areas spread across our lands, we hand harvest our fruit during certain seasons and in small batches to ensure the balance of our bush eco system. 

 

This method is the traditional & a sustainable way of gathering food from the land. It involves long hours, hard work but very rewarding to have this land connection. We employ our family members and local fruit pickers in the Kimberley area, which in-turn provides income and employment for many locals to be able to provide for their families.

 

The next time you place and order or receive your beautiful native produce, please take just a little moment to appreciate that what you are enjoying is not a commercial grown product, it has grown organically in the remote bushland of the Kimberley. It has grown and ripened with the seasons and has been hand collected from remote areas on the land by a small family business, 

and then shared with you to enjoy.
