## In 1998, two years before the United States Department of Agriculture started a national program (NOP), R&R Smith went organic.

People called us radical, too risky, unconventional, eccentric, and any number of other things.

At the time maybe it was all those things but we knew there was zero future in treating the land as a commodity. It had to be our friend.

We also knew Mother Nature did an excellent job of preparing the tastiest, highest nutrition, lowest carbon-footprint fruit so if we just followed her lead we’d be ok.

## We dont like plastic. It's in our nature.

So we set out to become Australia’s first organic company to use 100% home compostable packaging.

Now all our bags can be broken down by the marvellous microbes in your compost. Then they’ll feed the local worms, boost your soil’s biodiversity and help your garden – and the world – stay healthy.
So when you’re done with our bags, chuck them in your compost – just like you would our apple cores. Unless you like to eat the cores. No judgement here.

## Since 1888, our family has grown apples in Tasmania’s beautiful Huon Valley. In 1998 we went organic. With sunlight, water, love, and a little luck we nurture our organic orchards because we believe everyone deserves the best mother nature can offer.

G’day. We’re the Smiths. That’s me on the left and my dad, Ian, on the right looking as if he’s about to bowl a googly.

We weren't always smiling like this. Back in ‘98 Dad and I spent a fair amount of time having dust-ups over me wanting to take the business organic. He thought it was all a bit bloody kooky.

Fair to say I was pretty single minded about it, though.
To me, not adding things to our fruit was much more valuable than adding things. I’d always thought the best horticulture systems were designed by nature so organic made absolute sense - it was not only our future, it was the only future.

Sure, it costs more and is tricky to manage, but, y’know we’ve been doing it now for a quarter century and in that time we’ve learnt a lot.
