In 2016, the fruitful partnership between Fruitico and Fresh Produce Group (FPG) began. Their Riverdale and Hamel farms are located just south of Perth, Western Australia. With a perfect combination of climate, soil, and water, this area helps them grow the most flavoursome and diverse variety of sweet and crisp grapes throughout the peak Australian season (December - May). Their diverse varieties ripen at different times of the year to ensure that the consumer get to enjoy tasty premium Australian fruit, all season long.
