Nuts about nuts

摘要

Mt Barker farmer Tony Riggall is a man who makes ideas come to life. He jointly founded Goundrey Wines when he became interested in wine, started Mt Barker Geese and Duck when he could not find a goose for his Christmas lunch and is now establishing awalnut and pine-nut plantation partly because he likes fresh nuts. His foray into free-range led to the now-famous Mt Barker Free Range Chicken, which he recently sold to concentrate on farming. Riggall still grows all the chickens for his old label aspart of the business deal, while his 2400 ha property is also home to the Palandri Wines' vineyard and a Tasmanian bluegum plantation.
