Our Sustainable Dragon Fruit Farm.

Our Goals at Rare dragon fruit are to have a sustainable farm for future generations. 

At our sustainable dragon fruit farm in Agnes Water, Queensland, we grow over 150 unique dragon fruit varieties using eco-friendly farming practices. Our focus is on promoting biodiversity through polyculture, which enriches the soil and supports a healthy ecosystem.

We avoid synthetic chemicals, only using organic pesticides when absolutely necessary. Our farm provides fresh, vibrant dragon fruit to wholesalers, local markets, and direct consumers.

In addition to growing fruit, we offer educational workshops on sustainable farming techniques to foster self-sufficiency and environmental responsibility in the community.

We are passionate about producing quality fruit while protecting the planet.
