Since its establishment in 2008, Old Orchard Organic Farm has grown every year in diversity and size. The farm is run by two people, including building, irrigation installation, crop production and marketing. The total area under production is currently about three hectares of crops and one hectare for free-range pigs. Production is diversified to reduce the risk and to spread the workload over the year. The farm has developed the following enterprises as profit making ventures: banana production (1000 plants over 0.7 hectares), vegetables, eggs, broilers, pork, dry-land crops for animal feed production, macadamia nut production (trees not yet bearing nuts), and research on rainfed crop production.
