Situated
in the Hawkesbury/Penrith area, Northwest of Sydney, the Tolson
family is one of the most advanced mushroom producers in the
world. We have a sound history of growth over the past 50 years. If combining our families farms, we
are the largest privately owned mushroom producer in Australia and
the second largest overall. We supply mushrooms of excellence to the
Australian and overseas markets. Our mushrooms have a longer shelf
life than our competitors and we supply a broader range of mushroom
from small buttons to jumbo flats. Post harvest skills and technology
play a major role in our success. We rely on well trained harvesters
to maximise our mushroom harvest. We conduct an intensive three month
harvest training course for new harvesters. We believe we have the best
harvesters in the Australian industry. Following harvesting, the mushrooms are vacuum cooled, refrigerated and sent to our customers in refrigerated air bag suspension trucks.
This ensures the mushrooms reach the customer in prime condition.
Mushrooms used to be grown outdoors in the cooler months of the year
which made them a seasonal product, but now due to advances in technology
they are grown indoor ensuring year round crops. |
