A Taste of the North

A Taste of the North We’re a local Melbourne business passionate about bringing you 100% natural dried tropical fruits—always free from added sugar, preservatives, or sulphur.

Our love for tropical fruit started in Far North Queensland, surrounded by an abundance of fresh, delicious fruit. Thirty-five years ago, our family turned that passion into action. With custom-built dehydrators, my dad preserved the natural goodness of the fruit without adding anything unnecessary. What began as a small, family operation grew into a wide selection of high-quality tropical fruits,

always staying true to our commitment to purity and flavor. Since moving to Melbourne five years ago, I noticed that many dried fruit products didn’t match the freshness and quality we knew back home. Many were full of additives and just didn’t capture the true taste of tropical fruit. That inspired us to bring a little taste of the north to Melbourne—and beyond. Our mission is simple: to share the vibrant, natural flavors of tropical fruit with everyone, without compromising on health or taste. Because nature’s best doesn’t need anything extra—it’s perfect just the way it is.

Let’s be honest! Dried fruit gets dealt a hard blow in the nutrition space, but honestly not all dried fruit is made equal.

Not only do we NOT add any sugar to our fruit we also don’t have any preservatives or sulphates. Which is really uncommon in the dried fruit industry.

We would love your support, we care about our local growers. We know them on a first name basis and we love to show you what natural unprocessed Aussie dried fruit tastes like.
