Ramarro Farm is a market garden located in The Patch, in the Dandenong Ranges — about an hour east of Melbourne.

Farming across three sites, the area features a mix of red volcanic soil and mountain soil rich in organic matter, which create prime growing conditions when combined with an average of 1200 millimetres of rain received each year.

Their practices are sustainable and chemical-free, with a strong commitment to the health of the environment they grow in. Flavour, freshness, abundance and quality guide everything they harvest.

A long-time friend of CIBI, Oliver and his team share a deep respect for seasonality and the dialogue between grower and cook. Much of their produce is supplied to some of Australia’s finest restaurants — and we are grateful to bring a small part of that harvest to your table.
