The 08/09 coffee picking season began this week for Lime Tree Farm when the first box of coffee was picked by myself & farm manager Busher, the coffee was then sold to Mavis Bank Coffee factory who export it under the Jablum label.

 After last years disappointing crop(250 boxes), due to Hurricane Dean hitting us in Sep 2007, the 08/09 crop is looking good we did sustain some damage from Huricane Gustav but the winds were not as terrible as Dean so the bulk of the crop survived.

We still have a month left of this hurricane season but farmers in the Blue Mountains are hopefull that we have received this years disaster already & will be spared further hardship. If all goes well Lime Tree Farm should be looking at a 1000 plus box reaping which will be more than welcome!

We are planning to acquire a pulper, huller & vacuum packer so that we can process some of our own coffee & sell to guests at Lime Tree Farm. More about this early next year.
