After years of longing for a rural lifestyle change, extensive searching, and enduring numerous disappointments with unsuccessful offers, fate finally guided Natalie Hackl and her husband to discover a hidden gem in Blue Knob, NSW. Tucked away in the shadow of the majestic Border Ranges, the farm had languished in neglect for a decade, its inherent beauty masked by overgrown fields and a rundown shack. Yet, beneath acres of overgrowth, a grove of struggling finger limes awaited rediscovery.
As they delved deeper into the property, wading through towering swaths of grass, they were rewarded with awe-inspiring views of Blue Knob, Lillian Rock, Mount Warning, and The Border Ranges—a moment of true love at first sight.
Five years later, despite often flushed faces and bodies drenched in sweat, Natalie and her husband Matt have unearthed the true worth of resilience, perseverance, and patience. Bush Harvest Co stands as a testament to the stunning and bountiful land they are privileged to call home.
Although both hailed from backgrounds in primary school teaching and equine nutrition, they possessed minimal farming experience. Navigating the challenges of farming—through drought, bushfire, pandemic, and floods—has proven to be a remarkable journey. Anyone familiar with finger limes understands Natalie's description of them as a "prick" of a plant to work with (long leather pruning gloves are a must!).
Nonetheless, their passion for hard work, rural living, and native Australian botanicals has fortified their determination to create something extraordinary with Bush Harvest Co for their customers. They sincerely hope you'll cherish their products as much as they do!
Anyone who has worked with finger limes knows what Natalie means when she describes them as a "prick" of a plant to work with (long leather pruning gloves are essential!).
