~ What's new at Fruits of Whitsunday ~Welcome to the "What's new at Fruits of Whitsunday" page, this page is designed to keep our consumers up to date with the latest Passionfruit developments at Fruits of Whitsunday. September 2006 Advances are being made for replacing and replenishing our vines, so much so that approximately 90% of our vines are now under 1 year old, and we're still going! One a different note, our youngest contributor to the Fruits of Whitsunday team has become engaged this month! Congratulations Zak and Vhari! August 2006 Our Pulping machine has arrived! ...And it works very well... Our through-put of Passionfruit for pulping has gone from about 1 Passionfruit every 20 seconds to around 1 Passionfruit a second! That's a lot more Passionfruit being able to be processed in a shorter time. Rather than time being an issue, the shortfall in quantity of 2nd grade Passionfruit for pulping will be; But that will be less of an issue as the Passionfruit production in vineyard is still growing in size. July 2006 Fruits of Whitsunday was featured in the Australian Financial review Newspaper as well as featuring in predominant Country newspapers. Vineyard G has been removed and replaced with a steady flow of Panama Passionfruit being sent to all corners of the Australia! (New South Wales, Western Australia, to name a few) June 2006 More vines have been planted this month! We sure are growing! Also this month our website has been added with a new fruity background to replace the plain white background. In case you can't figure out what it is, it's Passionfruit seeds and pulp as a watermark. May 2006 We are reluctant to announce that Fruits of Whitsunday is for sale, for medical reasons one of our family members has been directed to stop work. If you think you may be interested in this profitable business with a lifestyle to match you can view more information on the For Sale Page . April 2006 This month we've been busy planting out over 500 or our fresh new Panama Passionfruit vine seedlings! That's us striving for continual Passionfruit quality improvement. March 2006 Talk about growing! Our vines are growing furiously! and so is the summer rain! This month we've been busy growing, planting and pruning our vines to make amazing Panama Passionfruit! February 2006 February was another mile stone for Fruits of Whitsunday, with our first ever shipment of our Passionfruit direct to the Western Australia Market. Bullfrog International is our agent for Western Australia. You'll be able to find their contact details on our Agents page. Also in February Fruits of Whitsunday has been awarded a grant to manufacture our new Passionfruit pulping machine. This machine will help us process more passionfruit pulp out from our 2nd grade Passionfruit more efficiently. With the announcement of this grant Fruits of Whitsunday has been featured in the media, on radio, the Proserpine Guardian Newspaper, Queensland Country Life Newspaper, The Whitsunday Times, and featured on the Channel Seven local news.
January 2006 The rains have arrived! For now anyway... Not much else to report for January except we're working hard growing the best Panama Passionfruit for you! December 2005 Happy new year! In December we had our hottest day on record, 42.2 Degrees Celsius! (108 degrees Fahrenheit) with constant days above 35 degrees Celsius, it has been both hard on us and the vines. But looking forward into the new year there are going to be some exciting new developments, you'll find out what they are later on in the year... November 2005 Work has been continuing on in November. Construction of vineyard 'I' is now complete and mulching of all blocks are also complete, planting is continuing as well as our third expansion of our Packing shed. From all of us at Fruits of Whitsunday we hope you have a great Christmas! This page will next be updated for December around the start of the new year! Have a happy and safe new years! October 2005 October was the month we had our very first pickers 'Christmas party'. We thought it was a good way to reward our valued pickers for their continued consistent efforts over the year, so to finish off on their final harvest for this season, we threw them a the party as a way to say thanks. We hope to see them all again at the start of the next season starting soon. Also, construction of new vineyard "J" is now complete, planting and mulching is now underway. Construction of Vineyard "I" is continuing. September 2005 Early September our new cold room construction and wiring was completed, and it is now cooling and locking in the freshness of ever single one of our Passionfruit! September was also the month we sent our first fresh export. If you would like to import our Passionfruit also, then please contact us . August 2005 August has been another very busy month. To increase packing efficiency we've updated the display cards to strips of 5 perforated cards, but more importantly we've added a new higher resolution photo in place of the old one, and added a heap of new different Passionfruit recipes! Late August our new cold room has arrived and is now under construction. The new cold room will help providing higher quality and fresher Passionfruit for our consumers. July 2005 July has been an extremely busy time at Fruits of Whitsunday, not only have we released our latest black tray range (see products page) We have also been featured "Enterprise of the month" in Good Fruit and Vegetables Magazine! Plus we have won "Champion fruit of show" winning over all other fruits at Show Whitsunday... For the second time!
