Playing with Fire was established in 2002 to wholesale Australian indigenous rainforest fruits, nuts and spices to restaurants and cafes. Our award winning range of
rainforest fruit jellies andrainforest tea infusionscame soon after, and is
now sold all over Australia. We were awarded a
GOLD
and
2 BRONZE MEDALS at the Sydney Royal Agricultural Societys Fine Foods Show
with our first entry in a fine foods competition. Today, we produce 5 exquisite rainforest jellies, 4 varieties of tea infusions, and 7 australian bush spices, as well as our unique bushfire blend.
Our products are as
nature created them –
free of genetically modified ingredients, artificial
colours, flavours or preservatives. And they are
highly nutritious foods in
their own right – these are foods that have been used by Aboriginal people for
many thousands of years as an essential part of a balanced nutritious and varied diet.
We
grow several varieties of native foods at
"PheonixPark", one of the original trial
plantations of bushfoods in our region. The plantation has over 300 lemon
myrtle trees, 100 Aniseed myrtle trees, Riberries, Lilly Pillys, Davidson
Plums, Tamarinds, Almonds, Finger Limes, Doojah, Beach Cherries, Rainforest
mint, and more. We source locally grown fresh ingredients, and take advantage
of the magnificent coastal and rainforest envioronments that the northern
rivers region of NSW has to offer. We have a love of nature and see Australian native
foods as viable
sustainable farming alternatives that all Australians should be
taking a lot more notice of.
